235973 - text highlighted during find operations should be more noticeable

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 194870

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, enhancement)

Description

[Adam Doppelt]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

I have to stare at the page for several seconds in order to locate hilited text
while performing a find. Other people seem to have this problem as well. A
simple animation like a zooming rectangle or a color cycle would more
effectively draw the user's attention to the hilited text. Can this be done as
an extension?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.cnn.com
2. "Find as you type" for "Video"
3. Try to actually locate the word on the page... see how hard it is?

Actual Results:  
Eye strain, frustration, repeat hitting of CTRL-G....

Expected Results:  
Nicely draw the user's attention to the hilited text with a simple animation.

Bug 127314 is simular but deals with the search/selection and not FAYT.
You can change the color of the FAYT text by going to about:config and adding
ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention = #rrggbb
