Question

Is there a way to write an html link to include a search for a particular term? For example, a link to http://news.google.com/ where all the words of Nato have been highlighted by the browser, as if you clicked, pressed Ctrl-F and wrote Nato.

Answer 1

This is not possible, unless the website you’re linking to offers such an API, e.g.

http://example.com/?highlight=nato

…which would then process the document on the server-side and highlight the terms in some way.

Either way, it’s impossible to make the browser highlight these things yourself unless the user actually searches for it himself.
