Christiaan: The search function that Skim provides is better than most since it shows the new location in a bright yellow box before subsiding to a blue highlight.
The Firefox browser has a fabulous search match display method. When one does command-F a box shows up in the lower left. I turn on 'Highlight All'. When a search is done by entering a term, it says, for example, '1 of 14 matches'. Then the term gets a highlight in blue and others that are not on are magenta. As one moves through the matches (using up and down arrows), the current one is always blue and the others are magenta. This keeps one oriented. There is also a strip on the side that shows magenta lines corresponding to all hits in the entire document and a grey oval that shows the currently displayed page. This allows one to be completely oriented as to the locations of the matches in the document. It would be great if the highlighting (and maybe the strip) were in Skim! Thanks for all your great work.
