UHB Archived Version 2.5 (Opera 8 only) (by Luchio)

I recommend using Ultimate Search Highlighter instead since it is more recent.

IMPORTANT: Do not combine buttons from version UHB 2.5 (below) with USH. Version 2.5 buttons are incompatible with USH.

Features of v2.5

• Automatically highlight keywords if page is selected from Google results;
• Highlights "multiple keywords" in different colors on any page (even framed pages!);
• Shows detailed search results in a floating box, where you can jump from one result to the next;
• Remembers search queries with cookies;
• Customizable with variables.

Opera forum post about v2.5 here

Installation steps

1. Enabling UserJS: Go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> JavaScript options and select a directory for your UserJS files.
2. Download the script (uhb.js) in your UserJS directory
3. Drag the following button to any toolbar (except personal bar): Highlight

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you used an older version of UHB before, YOUR OLD TOOLBAR BUTTON WON'T WORK. Use the new one.
You must place it to the right of an Opera search field if you want to use input from that field. You can also input your text in the address field.

How to use

You can now enter your keywords in the Opera internal search field and then press the Highlight button. If no search field is found, you will be prompted to enter keywords. You can also change the behavior of UHJS by modifying the options located at the beginning of the file.

UHB - Bookmarklet for Opera (7 and less)

Use this old version only if you you have Opera 7-:
Ultimate Highlight Bookmarklet 1.5b (Right-click the button and choose "Bookmark link")
You can then show the bookmark on the personal toolbar.

Release history

• Output now says "not found" instead of 0.

• URL recognition is better.
• Highlight() and HighlightKeywords(k) functions renamed to UltimateHighlight() and UltimateHighlightKeywords(k) to make it unlikely they would interfer with webpages.

Ultimate Highlight Bookmarklet v1.0 (Old version, here for compatibility purposes.)

Historic [⊗]

This BookMarklet/UserJS is maintained by LuChio, but it is the result of the work of many skilled JavaScript authors. I found the Original Code, that highlighted keywords for version 1.0 on the Opera forums. It was from Aleto, who improved code from Ago, who continued the idea of Jesse Ruderman, who was inspired by sample code from Paul McGarry he wrote in a bug report! Later I got help from HermeN, StoeN?, BtEO? and FluxTorpedoe? on the Opera forums. And I probably forgot a name or two here. Anyway, you get the idea! :-D
