Turn off search term highlighting

[bc]

In the past I was able to turn off the highlighting of search terms in VW Help.

I can't figure this out with the current version.

How does one turn OFF the highlighting of search terms?

 

Thanks

I never got any official confirmation from Vw, but I believe the ability to turn off search term highlighting was removed starting in Vw2016:

Thanks rDesign,

I was hoping I was missing something, but alas....

Frankly to me it is more than a minor annoyance and being able to turn it off would be much appreciated. Perhaps could be mitigated if the shading of the text were less.. ah, obvious.

The more people that request this functionality here, the faster we may see it:

Still perfectly fine to start a thread about it, but the Online Help now has it's own wish submit form as well. Wishes submitted through the above linked form or the Forum wishlist will both go to the same place, but the dedicated form is faster.

OK I was just watching a Webinar by Jonathan Pickup and he searched via the "What's This?" search option.

I noticed when his results displayed there was no highlighting.

So, for example I searched for Project Sharing using What's This? and voila!  No highlighting albeit not the same results either:

 

 

So if you can limit your search to whats this (for tools or menu commands) you can get some info without the highlights.

Not ideal...but something.

It does seem to imply that the non-highlighting is already somewhat implemented in the functionality.

Or what DOES this mean?

This is a total workaround (ugh) but:

 

If you delete everything in the URL after the second .htm, the highlighting goes away. For example, delete "&rhsearch=render&rhhlterm=render&rhsyns=%20".

 

This of course has to be done every time, but if the highlighting is super bothersome this is one way to get rid of it.

Hey thanks for that Andy.
