Enhance Usability by Highlighting Search Terms

Google’s caching system offers several cool features; one of most useful is that the words you searched for are highlighted in the page. Most web users don’t read pages carefully — they scan text for what they’re looking for. This is why Google’s cached-page highlighting is so useful. When the page is rendered, users don’t need to read the entire page to find what they came for, the page shows them where it is. As a quick example, the words highlighted above most likely caught your eye before you actually got to reading them.
