the only reason that I still use IE sometimes is the google toolbar.
It is very nice to have the search words that match in the page be highlighted
and be findable through a find-next button for each search word. This makes
locking at search results much more efficient. Especially for large pages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open IE with google tolbar installed
2. search for "google search result highlight"
3. click on first hit
4. see marked up page and 4 clickable buttons on toolbar
5. try same in Firebird, but fail :(

Actual Results:  
no marked up page and no clickable buttons on toolbar

Expected Results:  
see marked up page and 4 clickable buttons somewhere (maybe on title bar, there
is usually unused space)
From the description I guess this belongs to the Googlebar extension.
See http://googlebar.mozdev.org/
find next is doubtful, but there's a bug on highlighting already.
This functionality was added by Blake's new "Find Toolbar". You can see it in
recent nightly builds. If I've misunderstood what you want and the feature has
not in fact been added, feel free to reopen this.
