Highlighting a word when it is searched

24 votes

I often want to do a word search, and the program shows the scene where the word is, but then I have to sift through the entire scene to *find* the specific word I am searching for. This would help SO much!

YES!!! This is absolutely essential and a major source of teeth-gnashing when I'm searching but don't recall the context.

Being able to search a word and the word gets highlights anytime it was used would be a huge benefit. For example, if someone used the words But or Like too much they can search for the word and it shows you every time it was used and numbers how many times it was used. It would really help me edit my own work before I ever try and send it to an editor.
