Just checking some cached pages and noticed that google is not highlighting the term I search for on the cached page. Anyone else noticing this?

Sorry, can't reproduce your claim. All the cached pages I view are displaying with the search term highlighted.

Yup, saw that on some www2 searches yesterday, but didn't really follow through.

I can think of a few reasons they would stop doing the highlighting. But, they mostly revolve around a topic that has been beaten over and over here - which is the whole copyright issue, etc. and the modification of copyrighted works that Google does without permission.

Still, it makes the cache much less useful for me, if they discontinue that feature...perhaps now that they are so well branded, as Brett has said many a time, they don't need the 'branding cache' as much as they used to?

saw that just now while I was looking for something
thought it might be an old cache vs new cache thing

I just checked the cache for a new page of mine that just made it into the index. There wasn't any highlighting. Too bad, I really liked that feature. I used it all of the time.

Interestingly though, the words at the top of the cache page still said to "Click here for the current page without the highlighting."

This is not good as I use the cached page 75% of the time when searching on google. Bring it back...
