It's a rare search that takes me to a page that mentions what I'm searching for exactly once.
Search result pages and destination pages serve completely different purposes, and you can't apply the same UI to both. If you ran a restaurant, you might decide to laminate the menus, but I hope you wouldn't laminate the entrees, too.
- dennisgorelik 15y agoIf it doesn't make sense to highlight search keywords that web masters wouldn't do that would they? Highlighting "salmon" menu entries on web site could make sense for the user who is searching for "salmon", wouldn't it? But let's be more specific: I run a job board (PostJobFree) and recruiters frequently find resumes on Goolge in queries like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle%3Aresume+sharepoint+C%23+memphis http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle%3Aresume+sharepoint+C... If you open first result - you can see how these keywords are highlighted. I'm pretty sure that this highlighting is a convenient feature for recruiters who want to quickly scan resume.
