Hello,
Nice script.
1. On this page: http://www.rarlab.com/feedback.htm if I double-click word "please" in the first line:

If you need assistance with WinRAR and RAR or if you lost your registration key and wish to recover it, please write to support.

the other words "please" will not be highlighted because a double click selects the space after the word, and the other "please" have no following space.
So, it could be useful to add this feature in you next version: auto un-select the space selected by double-clicking a word.

2. On this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/748 (and this other pages of this domain I guess), the matched and selected words have a big yellow frame !!!

3. Suggestion: get different colors for each word group, when you select other words.

4. In this page: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions...
selecting the word "button" in the second line of the post will hide the yellow star icon in the right side of the post (above "Kudos!"), because the container DIV id of this icon contains "button".
Source code:

Thanks and regards.

1. Good point. It should be simple to trim the white spaces.

2. Ah. I see what you're saying. They must have a style on the highlight class.

3. Multiple word highlights would be nice to have.

4. Hm. That's possible. It doesn't happen in my browser. I'll check it again when I run the next version up. It could be in conflict with something else. I should have the next version by the weekend. Stay tuned.
