Could not use Mozilla without it.  However one problem with highlighting.  If you have 2 words separated by a punctuation mark, they are searched as one item in Google, so putting a dot between 2 words to join them is something I do a lot.  But then Googlebar's highlight does not pick them up at all as it seems to look for the punctuation mark.  "Real" Google Bar does pick them up.  It marks them as 2 separate words, which is not absolutely correct but a lot better than not at all, and in practice it works fine.  So, for the wish list: please can the highlight tool ignore characters which Google does not search on.
