I know “CTL-F” will highlight one term but I need the Google Toolbar functionality to highlight multiple terms in different colours.
Example I want to search for “Electricity” “Amps” and “Watts” in a single page.
Google Toolbar in FF or IE will high all occurrences of “Electricity” in one colour, “Amps” in a different colour and “Watts” in a another colour.
