Also, currently, using the bookmarklet Highlighter can make all occurrences persistently yellow; it's a bit less jumpy.

agree totally with Original poster. The Sys pref highlight color is useless because many pages have a background color set an maybe that is the same as the sys pref highlight color in turn this turns a light grey an its VERY VERY difficult to see, in fact the highlighted word in nearly every page that isnt white is very very hard to find.

Check out the method Safari 3 now employs. This dims the window transparent grey like expose and highlights the text....this works brilliantly and a great use of transparency. Big ups to Apple for this one!!

while on the subject of search....The dialog for search SHOULD offer Auto Complete like all other forms in web pages....man this would be handy.
