Summary: highlight search terms in results

Initial Comment:
It would be great to have a feature which would cause 
search terms to be highlighted in the browser window. 
This is a feature in the Google toolbar, so if you use 
that, you will know what I mean. I think turning the 
highlighting on could be done either through a 
preference (in localprefs.js), or a generalized switch 
which would work with all searches, or even through the 
specific search xml files (this might be a reach) - it 
could be like the enable/disable search available in the 
help window, you could set whether or not you want 
search terms for each search to be highlighted (for 
instance, you would probably want them highlighted for 
a Google-type search, but not for a translation).

DQSD only provides the information to the browser, but has no programmatic
control of it. This isn't something we'll pursue.

However, most search engines today (including Google) highlight the search
terms within the results.

Yes, I'd like this, together with a way to quickly find
matching terms in results (like the Googlebar does).

I'm afraid that this would require a separate plugin, though.
