I recently started using Google Chrome as my primary web browser and it continues to impress me with details in its user experience. After performing an in-page text search using Ctrl+F, the browser adds an extra detail that I really liked. All instances of the search term are highlighted on the page AND the page’s scroll bar also now shows highlighted marks where the search term was found on the page. I thought this was a nice touch to give the user some context on where search results are located as well as a quick visual way to see how many results were found (if I see highlights everywhere I probably want to revise what I’m searching for on the page). I could see this being useful in other in-app searches, such as searching a PDF document. The extra visual context would likely be even more valuable when you are searching a larger piece of content.
