Clever! Love your site design !! :-) Bye Bye

You might want to add a "site:bartelme.at" to your Google link; your site doesn't show up in the results for me.

Just a heads up that the Google Toolbar is also available for Firefox and I actually prefer it over the in-browser search.

Jonathan Snook

Looks great. Just a 'bug report' (or maybe unavoidable wrong behaviour): if you search for 'site:bartelme.at searchterm,' it will highlight all the 'at's on the page too.

Andrew

Oh, I didn't actually know that Google toolbar is also available for Firefox. Thanks for the hint :) As for the "at"s - I also noticed that. However I can't do anything about it since the highlighting is exclusively done by the plugin.

Wolfgang

Cool! Thanks.

Awesome! i love it :)

I would *highly* recommend adding a widget to allow the user to turn hiliting off. It becomes very annoying very quickly.

Tim McCormack

Excellent! I've only ever implemented this with PHP server side scripting (I'm really mostly a server side coder) so bringing in Scriptaculous effects is a great idea. Thanks :)

Summer Flowers

Sure it's cool, but I'm not sure it's an improvement. I felt like I had to scroll down the page quickly before the contextual clues went away so I could memorize where they were. Users that don't know what's going on may not figure it out in time. In a long article, the hilite might fade before the user sees it. It's not that I dislike the fade, but I think a risidual hilite is necessary. Perhaps reverse the fade so that the hilite fades in (instead of fading out).

Actually, I think I will have it fade and then bring in a checkbox for 'show referred terms' (I'll think of a better label than that) I do dislike the look of pages with the 'referred text' marked, but it is useful *sometimes*. For other searches it can be a distraction. So, I'll show it at first, let it fade away, and then let the visitor turn it back on if they want (it wouldn't fade the second time). I like it! :)

Summer Flowers

Yeah - that's a good approach. Have to think about it… :)

Gute Idee. Verbessert Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Aussehen

Zum Glück brauche ich, wenn ich Firefox benutze, nicht erst die Google-Toolbar installieren, um meine Suchwörter zu highlighten. Mache ich eine In-Site-Suche mit Firefox (Strg + F für find), dann kann ich auch dort die Suchwörter hervorheben lassen. Um die gesuchten Begriffe auf einer Seite mit ausführlichem Text zu finden, gibt es sowieso nichts besseres als den browsereigenen Suchdienst ;-)

Besserwisser

i think you should change the hilite color to something else because it's kind of hard to read the hilited words
