I agree that's really nice... but what happens when the text isn't found? The feedback is that the page brightens. Even if I know to shift my eyes to the entry field, it feels odd to me that the feedback for something going wrong is that the page lightens up.

Safari does this better, darkening the whole page except for the matches. (I'm looking at Safari 4 in Windows.)
That makes the matches about as prominent as your colorful pop-up bubble display.
