When I do a search on WP, the results have each occurance of the keyword as blank letters. That is, instead of the word showing up in the results, there are blank spaces for each letter of the word. Perhaps the site has keywords accidentally set to be highlit with the same color as their background; light blue. If that is the case, it would be nice if the highlit keywords were set to red or something else that shows up well against light blue.

Can you see "to" in both the green and blue feilds? You can also change the colors of wp
in your profile.

I can’t see the “to”s in the blue fields, and they are light blue in the green fields, which confirms that they are set to be highlit as the same color as the field in the search results (light blue), making them appear blank in the search results. It makes it difficult to determine the context in which the word is being used by the poster.

I'll see what I can do with my personal settings. However, it would be nice if the highlight color were simply changed to something other than that of the default field color. In order for these keywords to really stand out, I'll have to change the field display to something like maroon or orange.

Edit: I don't see anywhere in my account that allows me to change the color display of WP.
