Thread: Better Find
View Single Post
I asked for something this to Apple a few years ago regarding Safari, but it also applies to OmniWeb...

For years, Find has marked its matches by highlighting the text it finds. This was great in 1980 with black and white screens, where highlighting meant inverting. It was even decent in 1990, where multi-color text on a white background was the norm, and the highlighting meant changing the background color. But in today's era of ransom note-like text, where it's quite possible that the web page's background consists of many background colors (including, quite possibly, the highlight color) it just isn't enough to grab the eye.

So please implement a way of showing find matches that grabs the eye. What I suggested to Apple was a bit of animation like the old AppleGuide coach marks, and maybe even dimming the rest of the page.
