For users who prefer a more visual way to search specific words in the current page, All-In-One Search adds Find in this page… capabilities to the search bar.

It works in two modes: highlight and search only. The first one highlights every searched term appearance in the current page (with a customizable color). The second moves around each occurrance of the search terms. It also allows to select a particular term (if more than one was entered) and keeps a small history of the searched terms.

All-In-Search makes more sense since highlighting and previous/next navigation was removed from the Quick Find bar in Firefox 2, but I find this quick hack a better alternative and I won’t miss the history and single term search functionalty.
