Today I noticed that some searches on Google gave me links to results with apparent instructions to highlight text.
Google brought me to What is the maximum size of a zip file on Windows 10 Pro 64... at the following url:
https://superuser.com/questions/1305867/what-is-the-maximum-size-of-a-zip-file-on-windows-10-pro-64-bit#:~:text=4%20GB%20size%20is%20a,about%2016%20exabytes%20size%20limitation
I experimented a little bit further and this seems to be a feature of Google Chrome. It highlights text on the page if you append #:~:text=something to the URL. https://example.com/#:~:text=domain seems to work fine, but only on Chrome (Chrome Beta on the left, Firefox on the right).
The word text together with different characters is a bit hard to google, so I couldn't find anything on the subject.
For finding out more information about these kinds of "URL-hacks" I want to know:
What is this feature of Google Chrome called?
Scroll To Text Fragment
OK, with the help of a friend and at the same time via a comment from Berto99 I found it:
Apparently this is a feature called Scroll To Text Fragment. It is enabled by default since Chrome 80, but apparently not yet implemented in other browsers.
There are quite nice examples in the "W3C Community Group Draft Report". More good examples can be found on Wikipedia.
Highlighting the first appearance of a certain text
Just append #:~:text=<text> to the URL. The text search is not case-sensitive.
Example: https://example.com#:~:text=domain
Highlighting a whole section of text
You can use #:~:text=<first word>,<last word> to highlight a whole section of text.
Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62161819/what-exactly-is-the-text-location-hash-in-an-url/62162093#:~:text=Apparently,Wikipedia
More advanced techniques
Prefixing and suffixing like the example suggested in the repository for the suggestion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#:~:text=Claws-,Like%20almost,the%20Felidae%2C,-cats texts as proposed don't seem to work for me (yet? I use Chrome 83).
You can style the look of the highlighted text with the CSS :target and you can opt your website out so this feature does not work with it anymore.

I've been looking this days to the code (using google chrome and its Inspect element feature) of several pages in order to see what they are doing (javascript, css, html, etc...) and I've seen something strange when searching for gmail at www.google.es (It's the same with www.google.com)
Just go to the link or search it yourselves and you'll see:
What is that line doing there? I already tried cleaning my monitor but it's not that ;)
I tried to look at the code in order to see if I could understand what is going on but I can't see anything strange:
Any ideas?
It is actually a single unicode character ฏ๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎ which has an unicode entities of \u0e0f\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e\u0e4e
Basically the diacritical mark (commonly used for accented letter) was added to the letter 26 times.
It has nothing to do with google itself, that character was in the meta tag of one of the sites it crawled and thus shown in the search result.
The link Alex posted, provides detailed explanation on this.

I have a page with meta description, but for some reason Google indexing sources its value from the content of the page, and not even from the beginning of the text, but from a sentence in the middle of the paragraph. I've checked the html, but don't see any reason for it. Robots are not affecting this page either. What else could be the reason? Forgot to mention I'm using Umbraco 4.7
The snippet Google shows will generally be related to the query the user has entered. In some cases, this will match well with your meta description, but if there is content elsewhere in the page body that better matches the user's search, then Google will show that part of the page instead.
This article on Moz.com goes in to a bit more detail on how you can gently steer Google in the right direction towards your meta description, but ultimately it's not something you can control.
So, is there anything you can do to bend Google to your will and always use your META descriptions? Unfortunately, the short answer is "no". Like so much of SEO, though, there are some ways to nudge Google in the right direction

Anyone know of a way to have a split screen view in Notepad++ where I can be editing my HTML / CSS in one pane/tab and be seeing the Live Preview of what it would look like in a browser in another tab/pane?
Ideally, this would be:
in Notepad++ itself (using native panes/tabs as described above)
the user could configure whatever browser rendering engine (Chrome, FF, IE, etc...) they wanted to view the preview in
However, I could live with any variation of the two above, e.g. simply integrated with RubyMine using external windows/browsers, or maybe, the preview only available with limited rendering engines (only Chrome let's say).
The plugin Preview HTML is the closest match to what your are looking for.
Go to the Plugins menu and then find the Preview HTML entry to install it. Its description is: Preview HTML files inside Notepad++ (or in a floating window) without having to save them first. The latest update now refreshes the preview automatically after switching tabs, or whenever the document is changed.
More information in the official website.
I think you're looking for it，the"Preview HTML".
this is the Introduction：http://chiselapp.com/user/vor0nwe/repository/npp_preview/home
Well this is now 8! years old. But I'd thought I'd chime in. The author of the plug in is no longer updating it, and, at least in my machine, it's not working anymore. 1
The plug-in author's suggestion would be to use a more modern text editor (like Visual Studio Code) and use one of the extensions. (Live Preview)
I know programs such as Webstorm JetBrains 6.0.1 can do this, you will have to download the chrome extension also. If not, then you can always use Codeacademy.com as an alternative and type code into there editor. It still works. :/
Just came across this post.
Years ago had been interested in Notepad++ but found it too limited as wanted it to be more of a wysiwyg type interface and not just text. Plus, would be awesome to be able to have sortable tables inside notes. The closest I've found to do these things are PIM tools such as OneNote or EssentialPIM.

In Chrome every location is written in it's native form and I can't read cyrillic or Chinese. If I open Google Maps in IE the names appear in English but who wants to use IE for anything ever? Google's forums were unhelpful and a message to them was unanswered. Is there a plug-in or something for Chrome to fix this?
As far as I know - all you need to do is click on the top right corner drop-down button - and then click on "English" - that turns all the text to English.
Works for me :)
The option can be found in the upper-right dropdown in the maps region (not top navbar).. what you're looking for is the dropdown arrow (below 'Traffic'), where you can select to show things like 'Weather', 'Labels', etc. - 'English' is also one of the options, select it (adds a check mark next to the option). By doing so, the names on the map will all change to English.
