Hi and thanks for a beautiful editor!

But - When searching through large files, it is virtually impossible to see where the cursor is placed at the found word. I go through large SQL INSERT files looking for some keys, and see that PN finds them as the window scrolls. But can never find out WHERE in the text there is a HIT! The cursor is itself barely visible, and in a big text block filling the screen, it just vanishes.

As PN is capable of color coding text, I really wish that the entire pattern that is found, could be marked with a clearly visible yellow background, or something similar.
