Steps to reproduce:

Ctrl+F and search for a word in the webpage.


Actual results:

Total number of instances of the word found was displayed and the first instance of the matching word was highlighted in green.


Expected results:

All the matching instances of the line should be highlighted in Yellow and current instance should be in green And also markings in the scrollbar along the line where the word was found will also be helpful.

This helps in easing the effort to click the arrows all the way through all the matches.

There is a "Highlight All" button.

This is exactly what the 'Highlight All' button does.
