Quite handy actually...

Using a "regular expression" you can craft any number of scenarios of received 
text that will cause the browser to highlight the line of text containing the 
expression.

In the case of the default CQ expression, it highlights any browser channel 
receiving a CQ. You could have it look for your callsign, some exchange of set 
of letters that would indicate something of value, a net maybe, some sort of 
exchange like for a special event, the possibilities are endless.

I didn't realize that a lot of folks did not understand what "regular 
expression" meant. Here are a few decent links describing just what it means 
and what some of the command syntax is for an expression:

http://www.regular-expressions.info/

http://www.regexlib.com/

There is a lot more out there for the searching...

It's a really handy part of the browser if you understand what you can do with 
it.
