    Finding highlighted text in IE
    I use a program that returns a search result in a html page with the various keywords highlighted. Is there an IE add on that will allow me to find the first instance of a highlighted word and subsequentially the next and the next? I prefer it to be in IE but other browsers would be acceptable.

    By what you are describing it sounds like you are doing a view source.
    In that case a simple find (Ctrl-F) will do exactly this.

    I'm not sure if I understand your reply or you my question. I realize I can search for highlighted text in the source view by finding the strong style coding. But I don't want to view in source. Alternatively I could use an advance Find command that allows me to find multiple words at once. In other words to be able to do a boolean Find A or B or C type thing.

    OK so this is your question and a simple Ctrl-F will do this.
    You can also use it for finding multiple words as well.
    Try it on this page.
    Look for the word "and" it will highlight it as the search goes up or down the page.

    If I'm missing your question you'll have to give more information on exactly what you are trying to achieve.

    OK I can find the word "and" but what if I want to find both the word information and achieve.If I type "Information" and "Achieve" in the find box at once I get no results. I don't want to search for one and then the other. Thank you for your patience
