Screen Sieve

what is that background you are using???

This is a great program. To all of you: for rest use CMD+F!!!

The name of the thing is SCREEN SIEVE!

That implies that it searches the screen.

Dang, it's donationware, give the guys a break for trying.

Personally, In Safari, command+f would work MUCH better if it picked out all occurances of the word I type in, and used a BRIGHT color to highlight instead of a light grey, which is hard to see.

Great but even in the foremost window, you can't scroll to see the rest of the search query. Static!

Say #2... Erm... If you use Firefox, it always had an option to search for text anywhere on a page. Go to preferences, advances > accessibility and tick the box "Begin finding when you start typing".

Will be rendered obsolete by Leopard anyway...

nice, but I can't get it to work with images, as advertised. What does it look for, for example in Safari: The name of the image, the name of the page the image links to? Nothing seems to work.

Furthermore, it doesn't work with applications on the second screen. :-(

And I'm still looking for a reason to use it - besides looking cool.

you can just use command+F to search

Thanks for the heads up - i'm trying it - i often find that i have trouble seeing things at times and this may help me find things - i understand the limitations about not scrolling etc.

Would be a nice feature for the OS to do itself - apple listening?

Rich,
it's because if it works correcly, you can use the same way of finding word in all app...
