REQ notepad which highlights all "found" words

[Franklin]

Do any notepads or wordprocessors *highlight* all occurrences of a
search word?

For example, if I search some text for "XP" then I want to see all
occurrences of "XP" as highlighted.

(It's similar to Google showing the user's search words in its cached
pages in highlighted colors.)

There is emacs and -- I think -- xemacs

I took a look at these two packages.

The installation process for Emacs on Xp looks over-complicated.

And Xemacs looks unnecessarily messy too.

I think I needs something which just installs without all the
technical hoop-la needed by these open source packages.

The highlight-all feature I want to get in a notepad can't be all
that complicated to obtain!

How about a stand alone app:

Program: Hilitext
Author: Fanix Software
W: LFW
Ware: v 1.1

the next one is just for web pages IIRC

Notepad++: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

\beginquote

Notepad++ is a free source code editor which supports several
programming languages running under the MS Windows environment.

This project, based on Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor
component) are written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures
the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under
the GPL Licence.

\endquote

It is a somewhat peculiar editor, interesting, powerful, and versatile.
In many respects it is similar to the two other Scintilla-based editors,
Notepad2 and SciTE (none of which offers what you want).

For found words highlighting, go to Find, and play with the options in
the box below "Find what:" It does it very conveniently.

Greetings,
Demetris

Susan, thanks for the info.

Using your website I downloaded Hilitext (freeware version 1.1)
from http://digilander.libero.it/rareware/hilitext.zip.

I can't get it to work on XP. When I use it it highlights text
found in the window's own title but not in the Window itself.

Has anyone come across a solution to this?
