In most cased highlighting the search is cool but not if you can’t jump to it.

Any thoughts about the best way to do this? Many thanks, Louis Eric,

I've tried splitting this, but nothing has been successful thus far. Do I need to use another method rather than getSearchString? Thanks, Louis Eric,

If one searches for "firefox fire", things get marked as they should, but if one searches for "fire firefox", the marking first put on "firefox" by "fire" ("firefox") will prevent "firefox" from being marked. All highlighting scripts I have seen have this problem. Do you have a solution? Jens Hi Eric

Great script!

If one searches for “firefox fire”, things get marked as they should, but if one searches for “fire firefox”, the marking first put on “firefox” by “fire” (“firefox”) will prevent “firefox” from being marked. All highlighting scripts I have seen have this problem. Do you have a solution?

Hope that helps :) @Louis:

I was wondering how to be able to resume using "search" as my input id? I looked at line 03 above: if (/s\=/.test(window.location.search)) { and wondered if changing "s" to "search" there would work, but it didn't...can this be accomplished here?
