We constantly look for words like LINKS, EXCHANGE or RESOURCES

Is there a program that can automatically highlight these words in a webpage once I go in from a LINK so that I can see it easily?

Thanks.

The Google toolbar can highlight words quickly and easily if you have it installed.

grep is handy too, use something like wget to scrape the pages and grep them for the words.

I have the google tool bar but I don't access a webpage from a search engine but from a Link Page instead - how can I make it highlight the words?

P.S.

I am using Internet explorer and a Windows machine - I would not be able to use GREP right?

You need to type the words into the toolbar that you are looking for and then click the highlight button.

You may need to go to make the highlight button visable: Click the drop down Google logo: Options: Highlight: Apply: Ok

You should now have the button on the toolbar.

>grep

I got it through downloading the borland compiler, a search for 'grep for windows' will find it if you ever need it.
