124311 - Find in page: highlight all the occurrences

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62467

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

Description

[shwag]

It would be nice to have the highlight capability that the google toolbar has. 
This seems pretty easy impliment.  It is just that when you pull up the find
dialog, a 'highlight' option would be available.  This would put a emphasis on
all the matches to the term in the page that you are searching, hence making it
easier to find.

Confirming: this feature has already been requested in bug 7930 but I found no
explicit bug for it.

With the new find api (set "browser.new_find" to true, or wait for bug 80805 for
it to become the default) this will be quite easy to write in JS.  But someone
has to come up with a UI design for it (I think I'd get stoned if I unilaterally
chose to put another button in some random location in the global Find dialog).

If someone wants to take charge of the UI design, I will be happy to write the
necessary JS to implement the function, or to guide someone else in how to do
that.
