Hello,

You can use the following Add-on and let me know if It helped your cause:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchwp/

If it did not help you,please get back to me. I will try to help you again.

The built-in Find feature doesn't do this. You might be able to find an add-on to do it. One place to search is:

• https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/

You might also find a user script which can do this. A user script is a chunk of JavaScript code interpreted by the Greasemonkey extension. Unlike the official extensions site, you often need to do a little more research to see whether you can trust a user script, and also the interface is a bit clunkier. But I just happen to have read about one that might work for you (I haven't tried it myself):

• Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/

• Script page on mirror site: http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/292083.html (official site is kaput)

• Discussion thread about the development of the script: http://userscripts-mirror.org/topics/187122.html

Works good. But can you change the color spectrum of the highlights? For example, when I type "motor cables action", I want the contrast to be higher. Currently, the successive search words are all highlighted by similar colors. I would like to have more contrast e.g. first word could be highlighted yellow, second blue, third green, fourth red. I dont think people would need more than 4 words on average. I am thinking of how I work when I highlight regular paper. Does this make sense? The question then is can the add on be customized to have a user choose the successive highlight colors?

Hi,

• How do I change highlighting colors?*

 You have to change the userContent.css file. You can also change buttons' icon with the userChrome.css file, but this is a little bit trickier.

Go to the following link to know everything about userContent.css and userChrome.css file:

http://www.askvg.com/list-of-files-that-can-be-hacked-to-configure-firefox/

Use following code in your newly created userContent.css file and change the colors you want by searching its hex code on google.

{{{ .searchwp-term-highlight1, .searchwp-term-highlight2, .searchwp-term-highlight3, .searchwp-term-highlight4, .searchwp-term-highlight5 {

 color: black !important;

}

.searchwp-term-highlight1 {

 background-color: #ffff00 !important;

}

.searchwp-term-highlight2 {

 background-color: #00ffff !important;

}

.searchwp-term-highlight3 {

 background-color: #00ff00 !important;

}

.searchwp-term-highlight4 {

 background-color: #ff7777 !important;

} }}}

If you don't like the look, you can always remove it from userContent.css and restart Firefox again.

Hope it will help you. You can always get back to me and I will see if I can help you.

Have a good day ahead.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful and prompt reply!
