-If you're using `history-incremental-search-backward` (by default bound to Ctrl+R
-in zsh's emacs keymap) then it works with _zsh version 5.3 and newer_.
-
-If you're using `history-incremental-pattern-search-backward`, then syntax highlighting works
-in _zsh 5.3.2 and newer_ due to [a bug in zsh](http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/redirect?WORKERNUMBER=40285).

+Under zsh versions older than 5.4, the zsh-default [underlining][zshzle-Character-Highlighting]
of the matched portion of the buffer remains available, but zsh-syntax-highlighting's
additional highlighting is unavailable. (Those versions of zsh do not provide
enough information to allow computing the highlighting correctly.)
