1.) There are some other scriplets HERE (thanks to “AttackOfThePwned” at TouchArcade for pointing this out); among other things, another highlighting one even capable of counting the number of hits and scrolling to the first occurrence. I haven’t tested it for compliance. Note that the tutorial only states synching these bookmarklets via a desktop Safari; of course, they can also be (directly) deployed on your iPhone - or, if they’re compatible – again, I haven’t checked – under other operating systems.

2.) As has been explained in many of my iPhone- and Windows Mobile-related articles, the built-in Safari has a shortcoming compared to for example Opera Mini: it doesn’t allow for quickly scrolling to the bottom of the page. (Without external help like this, it may be VERY hard to scroll down to the bottom of a long page to, say, check out the latest posts in a forum like that of DPReview). I’ve managed to fix this issue too. All you need to do is use the following scriptlet:

javascript:window.scrollTo(0,100000)

To quickly deploy it, just click THIS and do what’s explained in my former article.
