I've run into this a lot recently, where I'm searching for a particular "functionA(" as it relies on another function that I plan to possibly change. And the output-bar will return a lot of results for "functionA("... Yet when I manually open up those files I see a lot of those occurances of "functionA(" are within a comment block.

Would it be possible to [x] enable syntax-highlighting for the output-bar? Or at least color the result green if it is found within a comment-block or comment-line.

Such an option would default to the currently used Configuration Syntax/Highlight, and could even possibly use a dropdown listbox to select a different Configuration/Highlight.

I realize it would slow the search down in general, thus would need to be a checkable option.

Hi CrashNBurn,

Thanks for your inputs!

With version 11 out, I'd just like to put another Vote in for the possibility of colorized search results --- so you can tell from the results themselves when the Search String is contained within the current syntax hilighter's comment.
