Search highlight

[ofabro]

Hi there,

I use the comments field to keep record of my reading notes, and I love the search tool to browse words I used in there. I have more than 1000 books with notes on it, which makes the search tool a wonderful experience. However, I would like that when the search tool finds the word I am looking for, that it could be highlighted. Otherwise, it points me that the book comments has the word I am looking for, but I spend some time looking for where in the comments the word is typed.

Is it possible to add the highlight option to the search tool?

Best, Fabro

This might be something that is possible with the new Web Kit engine, so I will look into that. Thank you for the feedback.

Have you seen the new 3D CSS transformations in Webkit? They're very impressive!

Some impressive demo's to watch on the latest versions of Webkit on Leopard. These demo's are done by the browser, no plugins like Flash or Java. The 3D stuff is hardware accelerated as well, they run in your graphic-card and don't stress your processor:

For those that have never tried it; Webkit is the 'developers version' of Safari. If you want to see what future versions of Safari are capable of, you can install it on your computer. It's easy to install (just download and install), it does not replace Safari, it's just another browser on you computer that looks the same as Safari . Download the latest version on http://nightly.webkit.org/.

I was playing around with Snowstack on our Snow Leopard machine the other day and it's very impressive opens a lot of possibilities. Let see what Conor can do with it, but certainly an export template would be great (although only Mac users would be able to see it).
