If I search for a character string in TW5, I get a list of tiddlers with the character string in the title, or in the body of the text.

If my search target is in the body of the text, it is not highlighted, and (in a long tiddler), I can't find it.

I know tiddlers are "supposed to be short bits of information", but I am importing entire databases from Circus Ponies Notebook, and the only way I know how to is to dump the entire Notebook to text, and import as a text file - hence huge tiddlers that need to be "chunked" up.

Is there a modification to TW5 that will highlight or help find a character string?

Pmario, that only works if the tiddler is displayed(opened) , which is not convenient when you are looking for something on the entire wiki.

As someone has suggested, my plugin is a good shortcut for that issue.

Your Context Search is very neat bit of kit.
