Safari's 'Find' facility

Apologies in advance if this is considered too off-topic, but....
When I use Safari's 'Find' facility to locate text on a webpage I find it difficult to actually locate the result's of the search on the page. This is due to Safari 'highlighting' the text in grey (!!), is there any way to change the colour of the highlight to make it more distinctive?
Regards

Thanks for that guys, I did as you both suggested and changed the option in preferences.
Here is the weird bit, I can see what difference the change has made (highlighting text to copy & paste for example), but when I used Safari's 'Find' option the very first word found appeared in the chosen colour. Then I clicked find again and it immediatly reverted back to grey (not the default Blue in highlighter preferences), and remains grey all the time, no matter how many times I use it! :-s
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

  • Safari cannot find the internet plug in

    I have a new Intel iMac that initially had no problem surfing any web site. I now have a problem with any page that contains "shockwave". As and example when I try to got to www.autotoll.com.hk I get stopped by the following message...
    ++Safari cannot find the internet plug in++
    ++The page “Autotoll” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:++
    ++http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer++
    ++Do you want to open the page?++
    I have gone to macromedia numerous times and tried to download and install Flash Player 9. I still get the same message.
    I have also tried using FIREFOX and get the same message.
    How do I install Flash Player 9 properly??????
    HELP!!!

    Re: FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox (A FIX!!!)

    threejay10,
    thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
    http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
    i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
    So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
    http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
    installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
    It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
    Cheers, TM

  • Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

    Hi
    I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    HI aad1612,
    Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
    Close Safari
    Open a Finder window
    Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
    Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
    Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
    Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
    Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right mouse client to move this file to trash
    Empty the trash
    Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.

  • Safari Cannot find Server

    hi all,
    just purchased a new macbook a few days ago and i have found that when i am trying to access certain websites i get a message up saying "safari cannot open the followig page as Safari cannot find the server". i have tried emptying cache and reseting safari but it is still happening on a regular basis with different sites. could it be a problem with my internet settings?? i connect via airport to a wireless modem.

    Hello z:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    First, check with your ISP to be sure your settings are correct.
    To correct a different problem, I use OpenDNS (free version). That may not address your issue, but it cannot hurt.

    why would safari not find certian servers that it used to find

    I too am getting very tired of the "Safari can't find the server." error message. I am trying to open a stock market analyst website that used to open before called "The Evil Speculator".

    For future reference, Safari Plugins are kept in Macintosh HD> Library> Internet Plugins.
    To unhide the Library folder, open up Terminal (just type"Terminal" into spotlight) and type:

    I can't get Safari's find function to search text-fields; does anyone know of a way to do this?

    Like if you go into an edit screen page for wikipedia (say http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apple&action=edit ) - and you try to use the find function to find anything within the giant text box - it won't work (this does work, however, on Camino and Firefox)

    What was the answer to fix it then please. My version is 4.1.4, but the find facility only comes up with the first 8 then no more.

  • Safari cannot find mail.app

    I'm running Safari 5.1.4, and Mail 5.2 on a system running OS 10.7.3.
    I am trying to send a link to a page from safari using CMD+SHIFT+I. When I attempt to do that, I receive a message that Safari cannot find an email application. I checked Mail's preferences, and it is listed as the default mail application.
    Any ideas on how to get Safari to find Mail?

    You need to reset the LaunchServices database.
    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Copy or drag – don't type – the text below into the Terminal window:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
    That's all one line, though it will scroll on this page. Triple-click anywhere in the text to select it all.
    Press return. Log out, then log back in.

  • "video/x-ms-wma" Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in

    Help me....
    Thanks a lot

    I actually don't get any error message at all. The Q is greyed out and a large ? in center of it and nothing works in Safari. I get the same non-message wherever I go that has QT. I have tried some of the fixes that have worked for other people but nothing works so far. I tossed the webplugin into the trash and restarted Safari. I repaired permissions. I looked at the plug-ins list in help but that was only confusing since I don't have a clue what any of those control. Getting frustrated and have spent a couple of hours trying to fix this.

    Just wondering if anyone can help....I do not have a Mac so am finding it difficult to test.
    I have just published an online magazine which was initially in the .dnl file format, which has come to light that mac users cannot view.
    To try and resolve this I created an .exe file but it would seem that most mac users cannot view this either as they do not have virtual pc etc... which is required to view the .exe file.
    I have now created a PDF version which has satidifed some people on macs temporarily but trying desperately to offer something to mac users I thought I had the answer, by uploading the magazine to a browser so it does not require downloading.....but:
    The first person to try it out for me got: Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in and on trying to obtain one it could not find one.
    I really thought it would work as you do not need the .dnl reader until you try to save the book or detach it to view it on screen.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to view the content in a web browser????
    Any help would be much appreciated as I do not want to leave the Mac users out.
    Here is the link incase anyone fancies trying it for me....any feedback would be appreciated.
