Has anyone else discovered this neat little app? We're all (I think) familiar with the inline searching function in Safari 3.0. Think that for any app that uses the Apple API's, but not quite as pretty. Features:

• Screen Sieve highlights all the matches that are visible in a window, while Find usually just highlights a single match.
• Screen Sieve searches in the entire window, rather than only the areas containing text. That means that in addition to highlighting text, Screen Sieve may highlight objects like images, files, icons, buttons, and so on, as well.
• Screen Sieve doesn't force you to change context. When you invoke the Find command, your window frequently ends up scrolling up or down. This makes you lose track of where you are. Screen Sieve simply highlights the visible matches, and ignores the rest until you decide to scroll further up or down.

in safari, put a bookmark in your bookmark bar that has this as the address

I wish it were global, rather than for the front-most window.
