I did not try the Google Outlook add in noted at http://desktop.google.com/features.html
Is there a way to turn on highlighting like Gmail does (in yellow) in a search so that the word searched for is highlighted and easy to find?

I only know that the search of Lookeen can do that, but this is an third-party tool and shareware.I don't know how important it is for you to have this feature!? Lookeen is really good and has a lot of nice feature, but as I said, unfortunatley shareware! But it exists a 14 days free trial, where you try it if you want and see if it is what you are searching for!
It is an inconvenience, not a necessity, but certainly saves a lot of time when a search is needed, and one has to wade through pages of text to find that one word being looked for. It would seem with all the resources at Microsoft's hands they could provide this.
