Search&Highlight  

Search&Highlight

Works with Internet Explorer Versions 4, 5, 5.5 and 6.
 
How to use:
Click the link below to search this page – right-click the link and choose 'make favorite' to use offline:
 
Findit!
 
For more sophisticated use pull the favorite into your IE link-bar.
 
On a webpage:
  1. mark a term you want to search and hit the Findit!-Button – all occurences of the search term will be highlighted in the document.
  2. when nothing on the page is marked, hit the Findit!-Button to pop-up a search dialog. Fill in a search term and press 'ok' – all occurences of the search term will be highlighted in the document.
If you repeat this, the second and third term will be highlighted in different colors.
 
Try single characters like: 'e', 'n', 'a' or 't' first to get an impression of the functionality. Especially useful in long documents.
 
Enjoy...
