Highlight the searched word in the search results

[Oktan]

Hi,
Is it possible to highlight the searched word in the search results?

[isazi]

@oktan maybe it is a new thing (I see the forum has been updated) but search keyword are now bold in the results page.

@isazi I meant when I use CTRL+F to search a word in a post i’m reading, I get something like this:

I’m filling there the word im searching (for example, green), then clicking “Enter” and see something like this:

Now, if im using the up & down buttons to search next occorence, it doesnt highlight the searched value in the post (not even the first one).

@oktan while I agree that highlighting results should be there: if you are searching within a currently open thread, why are not just using the search in page function of your browser?

@egika That may be what @oktan means. Unless I’m using, say, this superimposed post composition window*, my FF page search opens the Suunto page’s internal search (as in @oktan’s pic) first.

*Well, the window I used.

And I see @Oktan has more …

@egika Because its showing me results from other posts. BTW, if i’m choosing from those results - same issue, no highlight.

Its added no?

Now it should be bold

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos At the final stage, when you click (desktop) on one of those results to see that post in its thread, the highlight disappears. Standard underline to the relevant post (not always visible without scrolling) but no bold text.

OK if it’s a two-liner - like the results list. Not so immediately helpful if it’s a bigger post like the one in @oktan’s example.

And searching “green” on this thread actually gave this extra wrinkle:

Found and underlined a correct post but “No matches found” and no bold.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I meant that, in a post, when you looping on the word you searched (and found the first one, lets say it appears there a few times) - its not highlighting the word. it just set the page when the word is somewehere in the middle, and you need to read all the text to find it yourself…

@fenr1r what is the in:topic. afaik that is not supported on quick search

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@oktan you mean using the native browser search ?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Oh ok now I understand the issue

[Fenr1r]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos

Oh ok now I understand the issue

So you don’t need anything more on “in:topic” from me?

FWIW, Ctrl+F does bring up the browser page text search at the Home/Recent and Home/Unread levels. On FF 84.0.2 (Win10Pro).
