Search highlighting

Post by niklas »

Just a little request that would help a lot during searches (live searches as well as other):

It would be nice if the search terms were highlighted in the info drawer, so that I could directly see were the found words hide in the abstract (or wherever).

Firefox has a nice implementation of this, and apple's preview too.

Thanks, Niklas

Hi,

This wouldn't be possible with Finds, which are not "connected" to references (you can get to a reference in dozens of ways, only one of which is a Find). It is more feasible with Live Search, and I'll think about. Thanks for the suggestion.

Come to think of it, live search is also where it would make most sense.
