How do I get Google toolbar keyword highlighting functionality in FireFox?

March 21, 2004 12:21 PM

I've been enjoying Firefox quite a bit, ut there's one thing I really miss from IE. I had the Google toolbar installed on IE and I frequently used the "highlight" button to make whatever term I entered show up in yellow inside the page. This is really useful when poring over Google results. Is there an extension I can use to do the same thing?

You can just click "cached", next to all of your search results, for a similar effect.

I've only used it in mozilla proper, but I assume it'll work fine in firefox.

Jesse Ruderman has a bunch of good bookmarklets here that do all kinds of useful stuff, including highlighting each occurence of a search phrase.
