Feature Request: Highlight searched string in the results

Open kenijo opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

It would be nice to highlight the searched string in the results in order to make it much easier to spot it when the displayed resulting line is long.

Yes, highlighting the searched phrase is a must-have and very important feature of every serious find & replace tool, most of such tools have it (for example dnGrep), a pity that some excellent tools like Notepad++ or grepWin still miss such a basic and important feature, it's like having a good car without lights.

Try the latest from https://github.com/stefankueng/grepWin/actions.

When searching in text-compatible files (word: "map"), the highlight is in a proper position: 2

But when searching binary files in binary mode or text files in binary mode, the highlight offset is 2 chars to the left: 1

dnGrep doesn't have that problem.
