[Feature-Request] Auto-Highlight Search-Term in Toolbar-Menu

[ThomasSeeker]

Hey, it's me again with a feature request. ... I hope I am not coming across as annoying! ;-)

The main reason, why I use the Toolbar-Menu more often these days, is the search field. ... And every time when I want to start a fresh new search, I need to delete the auto-filled search-term from the clipboard first.

I know, there exists the option, to auto-clear this field. I tried it, but half of the times I actually want the clipboard-entry to be there. :-D

So the ideal solution for me (and maybe other too) would be: The entry is there all the time, but as soon as I start typing it gets deleted and overwritten by my typing. (Sort of an auto-highlight without the highlight-colouring.)

Can you see some value in this behaviour too? And would it even be possible to achieve?

I'm surprised this doesn't happen. What is your setting for

under the quick menu options?

[ThomasSeeker]

Ohh, I see! I didn't know of this option. Because I don't use the searchbar with the Quick-Menu (only with the Toolbar-Menu), I never looked there.

Ah, thank you! ... This is exactly what I wanted. ... You really thought this whole thing through to the end! :-) Impressive!

I also now changed the background-color of the now highlighted search terms. The original one was my systems default and a bit to aggressive for this use case for my taste.

In case someone wants this too: The css would be:

#searchBar::selection {color:#xyz!important;}
#searchBar::selection {background-color:#xyz!important;}

Thank you very much, Ssborbis!
