. I am using version 9.7.x.x on Win10. How do I change the color of search result, so it stands out on the page?
If it is in the system, great, but where?

Does the MacOS version also have something similar? I can't seem to find a way to change it. I'm using version 2.4.4.0903.

At the moment the grey color of the search highlight is as useless as it was earlier in the Windows version of the application.

Here are 3 search examples on the same document file with magnification in the PDF reader at approximatedly set to 200% on all three readers. Which search is easiest for you to find the term "CN7" ? The first screenshot is NitroPDF, second is SumatraPDF and the last one is Foxit. Which screen shot makes finding the search results the easiest? To me its SumatraPDF

Will this post show up because I can no longer post here.

Sorry but I ditched Foxit Reader after discovering it was continually attempting to do out bound connections via port 443. It was Connected PDF Service and disabling Connected PDF and restarting FoxIt did not curtail the outbound connection. The stupid service was still running in the Process List in Windows. Even checking the disabling "All items requiring Internet access " did not help. Only after killing off the process for ConnectedPDF did the outbound connection attempts cease. Was using Foxit Reader 9.x but have uninstalled it and deleted all traces of it from my system.

pcguy ,Thanks for your reply. Regarding the situation"Other PDF Readers draw a box around the search result",may I know which PDF viewer has such feature and also
help to take a screenshot to show us the box which is around the search result for us take a closer look at first.Look forward to your reply.

[pcguy]

The thing is that even being able to change the highlight color of the search makes finding the results difficult in a schematic. Other PDF readers draw a box around the search result so as to make it stand out better on the page. Even with this change I still find I revert to another PDF reader to this day when searching schematics.

Hi All,

Color of highlighted search result could be changed now after version 8 release. Please find the screenshot about how to change the color.

double post - got an error at first but it went through

hi guys, first of all great work!

I changed to foxit reader due to it capability to search for text in multiple files inside a folder and its overall performance and options! ...BUT this feature (search highlight color) is missing and for those who work with complex pdfs (i.e. electronics schematics) it is VERY important. So please consider it even if it belongs to the advanced user category. Finally I'd like to add a suggestion to add an option for the search highlight to BLINK in the chosen color.

keep it up

br,
