Hello guys :

I was wondering if is there a way to highlight a given word in Safari, just like Firefox do in its awesome inline search option?

I've tried with a bookmarklet, but it does not work, even in OmniWeb. Please help, it is a necessary option when working with a lot of text (for exemple, searching the word "safari" in to the results of a Google search named "safari").

Thanks.

I'm not understanding you. Can't you just use the Find command under Edit, or do you need to permanently highlight (make yellow) the text?

This bookmarklet generally works in Safari although it crashed the first time I tried it, it's worked the rest of the times though. It automatically uses a Google referring URL if present otherwise it prompts for the search words.
