It is looking very nice [member=2]Jerry[/member]
Would it help implementation to highlight the first instance of the searched term, then use a key like tab key, and each tap it jumps to the next instance on the results page/s, and highlights that instance.
LibreOffice spell check highlights 1 at a time like this as each instance is jumped to, that open code may be able to be adapted if it is suitable and helps with progress on the manual.

[member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] I don't think you can do that with html. Tabbing only works on hyperlinks.
Re: Lite Help Manual - Search-able - bitsnpcs - 07-18-2017
[member=2]Jerry[/member] could it work with a different hotkey.
Some combination like use CTRL+F to find the word and CTRL+D to find the next instances of that word, maybe could they be coded into a clickable image/button that when clicked perform the action etc. Or mapped to a suitable hotkey.
Also it can be done map one image with up/down, or first, next, last using coordinates mapping of image etc. So the image is tidy and not many individual ones etc.

Like I said, I don't think you can do that with html. Those hotkeys are hardcoded into the Browser software itself. I'd say it may only be possible with a browser extension.

Re: Lite Help Manual - Search-able - bitsnpcs - 07-18-2017
Okay I understand not hotkeys.
For a button image mapping of coordinate work in html, I mapped acupuncture doll points and meridians with many 100's of links, to keywords, html pages or specific titles or paragraphs on a page.
I am not sure how they would set coordinates to a result without using adapting of the script, otherwise it would not be useful as it will need each one done manually for all of the manual, and of a database of the keywords, I am not really sure how to.
It was just an thought/ idea, thank you for having patience with me
