Fallout 4, tag for research, items appearing green
I've been playing Fallout 4 a lot since the day of release, I have been having no issues and have been going through the game fine, until today.
I think I did something to make all the items I had tagged for research to be highlighted in green. I would like to change it back to just the magnifying glass but I don't know how.
I'm playing on PC, any help will be appreciated.

The highlighting is part of the Scrapper perk, so there is no way to get rid of it once you have the perk. All it does is highlight items so you aren't losing out on anything.
From your comment it seems you are confused about it's functionality. Highlighting a certain resource like leather or copper won't stop you from getting other components when breaking down an item. Say you highlighted leather, a teddy bear breaks down into leather and 3 cloth everytime you destroy one. Highlighting one component doesn't stop you from collecting the other ones.

What does tagging for search do in Fallout 4?
You tag items you need to craft something, and when you're out there the junk that gives you those components will be marked (so you can loot it quickly without worrying if it has the right materials).How do I reset my tag for search in Fallout 4?
From this screen use Right Shoulder Button (I think) to tag or untag an item to search for. This annoyed me for a while too. and see at the bottom there is tag for search key, in every recipe, just tag it and untag again, it will mark and unmark the ingredient item..Fallout 4: Tagging Ingredients For Search

Answer 2
I think it only highlights items you have tagged for search. Only items with favorited components are highlighted. If you unfavorite them nothing should be green.
Answer 3
The best way is to go to your junk menu and select show components then select research on all items with the magnifying glass. you may need to do this a few times as you find all the components you marked but eventually, it will be back to normal, and of course, you can reselect as needed.
