What I need is to be able to search for something else (which I
believe I could do by searching using a regex), but I would like that
second thing to be in another color a la Google's search results (at
least in dejanews). What I need, eventually, is an angry fruit salad
of colors for all the search items I've entered.
Is this currently doable, and if not, do you think it's possible to
accomplish using a plugin?
I think this plugin will accomplish what you want:
