Abstract

A search tool enables users to search for synonyms of, and/or syntactically similar words to search terms that they enter. In at least some embodiments, the search tool is implemented in the context of a web browser for searching web pages. In some embodiments, search terms can be distinctly, visually highlighted on a page, such as a web page, to allow the user to easily identify words that have been found through the search. In at least some embodiments, color coding can be used to uniquely identify exact matches, synonyms and/or syntactically similar words that are identified on a page.
