When I type a text into Google, and get a link to a page, I'd like the text I searched for to appear as highlight in the page...

Does the highlight feature exist in Firefox?

Some websites do that automatically: they detect that you found them in a Google search and highlight your search terms for you.

(Some people find that a little creepy...)

Firefox doesn't do that, but if you install the Google toolbar and do your searches through the toolbar, then it can add the highlights:

(Edit: I don't use the Google toolbar, so I'm just going by what they have posted about it.)

Thanks jscher2000, for your suggestion.

In fact I used to have Google toolbar a year or two ago, but found it too heavy for what it really helped, and I disinstalled it...

(The display window also becomes really small when there are too many toolbars there on top.)

I would have liked to find just this highlight feature for the Internet search at the Mozilla plugins...

(perhaps this may be a suggestion for developers?)

Thanks anyway !!
