Search engine on single page

[Sam Smarty]

I got a singe page where is a lot of text. Visitors usually looks a
one special text from that page, but it's so large-sized that they
will be frustrated. So, I need a javascript code which includes search
field where visitor can specify that single or multiple word that one
is looking for from the page. And when visitor press a search button,
javascript will highlight the correct word(s) from that page... Did
you understand? I know that somewhere on the internet is the code i'm
looking for, but i cannot find it. Thanks!

Do you mean something like
<URL: http://4umi.com/code/highlighttext.htm >
The search is for all entered words individually by default but optionally
for the exact phrase. Case-sensitivity is another option.

Edit > Find in many browsers.

Mozilla has the funky Find-As-You-Type feature which can be activated for
non-link text by typing '/'.

(I have a thing about needlessly duplicating built in browser functionality
with JavaScript)

Re: Search engine on single page

That code seemed nice, but is there any other solutions available?
