*bump*

Any news on this?  I'd really love to see this feature added in...

See, on a webpage that kind of functionality is really helpful.

But in all the yrs i've used MC, never felt the need to have this. If i'm tagging or searching its usually 'a' field at a time. Never, really across as many fields as you have in your pic illustrated above. Does anyone do it like this  ?

You can get pretty close already without highlighting.

F3, enter your text there, and then hit F3 to find the next.

This is also a nice feature to add!

I'd still be stoked to see this feature.  My library has metadata spread all over the place and pinpointing specific words can be a real hassle when I don't know exactly where to look.  I have a feeling that not everybody would like highlighting, but can we at least have the option to enable it?

A little bird told me this will be available soon in a coming build of Media Center 13.
