SearchWP

SearchWP is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox. It converts your search box into a dynamic tool that helps you find what you're searching for quickly and easily. Either reveal the text you were looking for with colour-coded highlighting, or just click on individual words to jump to them.

If you like this add-on, you will probably want to try SearchBox Sync.

NOTE: For those of you who preferred the old version (jump-to-word button separated from the search box), I'll try to reintroduce these buttons soon. In the meantime, you can try to get used to press CTRL+K (on Linux and Windows) or Command+K (on Mac). This way, the focus will go to the search box. Thanks for your feedback.
