Highlight searched keywords in a website

Often times when you open a web page that you found using a search engine you want to see the keywords you're looking for. To do this you have to press Ctrl + F and type in the keyword, which can be tedious if you do this repeatedly. I think it would be great if the keywords were highlighted automatically.

When you search for a word or phrase, does not every instance on the page get highlighted? It does for me. Maybe the fact that I am using Midnight Lizard to theme the pages makes a difference?

For Google for example, if you search for test and click on a link to example.com in the search results, you want Opera to look at the referrer where it sees https://www.google.com/search?q=test, where Opera then parses it to find "test" and then does an automated ctrl + f for "test" on the example.com page you go to after it loads?

@burnout426 that's right.

Sounds possible at least (on a per-search-engine-basis).

@burnout426 I remember there was an extension for Chrome long time ago that did that, but I think It became incompatible with later versions.
