Search phrase highlighting in the live results list & on the single result page

Layout options -> Results Behaviour -> Highlighter and More features
Live results list highlighting
It is possible to highlight the search phrase in the live results list. Within these options you can change the:
Highlighter text color and background
and to highlight whole words or partial words as well
Single result page keyword highlighting
The single result (clicking a result on the live results list) is not the same as the search results page. This feature does not work on the search results page.
Scrolling to the first keyword match
Whenever the Scroll to the first keyword match if possible? option is enabled, the plugin will try to scroll to the first keyword match, after redirecting to the single result.
If you want to programatically specify a part of the result page to apply the highlighter and scroll feature on, then use the Result page content jQuery element selector option. This is useful when the search phrase might appear outside of the post body container (in a widget, footer or menu etc..), and you want to make sure those appearances are not highlighted.
