Search and Highlight in SQLDeveloper

Search & Highlight -1

I stumbled upon by chance, on a nice cool feature in SQLDeveloper - Search and Highlight rows. Run a Query, by pressing F9 and place cursor in the result window. Now press CTRL & F together, you would a popup window. Type a search text ( I typed 'Toibas' and clicked on  "Highlight", on the top. It would enable "Persist Highlight" and "Highlight Row" (See Search & Highlight -1 above). Check both of them and you would see a result as shown below (Search and Highlight Screen 2)
