Highlighter within the Search Results page

Keywords in your search are automatically highlighted on the search results page. 

Note: The Highlighter operates separately from the search function. This means that if your query is ABST/(car NOT vehicle), the keyword "vehicle" will still be highlighted when it is present in other sections such as the title or specification. 

To add more keywords, click on  the Highlighter icon to see the Highlighter panel. Enter a specific word or phrase you want to highlight in the text box and click Enter. The keyword will then be highlighted in a specific color throughout the search results pages. If you want to change the color of the highlight, click on the color of the highlight and a color palette will appear from which you can select another color. The numbers in parentheses in the colored text box displays the total number of occurrences of that keyword on the current page.

Note: When switching to another browsing mode, make sure to click on the Highlighter icon to activate.
