Highlight my Search Results?

I often search for exact phrases.

I am having a problem. Often times, the results are in the form of documents that are dozens of pages long with the four words of my exact phrase buried in the text somewhere.

Is there a way to get Google to Highlight or Goto my search results?

Trying to find a needle in the haystack of my results pretty much defeats the purpose of Google.

Thanks

To highlight the results you will need to search for some browser plugin (which browser do you use?).

But much more better way is to use CTRL + F, write a few characters of the searched word and let it find. Highlighting is also fine but if the page is too long it can consume too much time to find what you are looking for.

Ctrl-f Works just fine.

Thanks!
