Ah - yes, it does seem to work on other pages.

I had recently consulted:

http://www.vetuk.co.uk/pet-meds-prescription-only-advocate-for-dogs-c-21_701/advocate-for-large-dogs-p-1624

so I searched for "dog", then "Dog" on that page, as I already knew that
both instances occurred there. It seemed a suitable test page!

Here the highlight only happens if "Show all" is selected. The page
scrolls as expected, but the highlights are not shown. The page source
does have lots of instances inside tags of one sort or another, but I had
imagined the search would only search the displayed text.

I have tried resetting my machine, and find that earlier versions of
NetSurf show the same problem with this page.

So I guess this means either it's a problem with that specific page, or
something on my machine is causing the problem.

I hadn't seen/understood the relevance of Dave's previous short posting,
and only saw the new version when I automatically downloaded it earlier
today. Also, I gleaned what it was about from the changes log and, as I saw
the progress bar was still not complete (and still isn't) I assumed that it
was a brand new version with other OS versions still being rebuilt.

So, I'm still puzzled.
