Changing highlighting colour

How do I change the colour of the highlighting performed by Adobe when I'm in the CTRL F search function? If I'm doing a search of a particular word, for example, I find it really hard to see the light grey highlighting the Adobe used to show the next instance of that word. Is there a way to change this? I can see lots of posts about how to change highlighting when I myself am the one doing the highlighting, but that's not what I want. I want to know how to select a different colour for the highlighting that Adobe does on my behalf when I'm searching for a word. Hope this makes sense!

I don't believe you can change it, neither in Reader nor in Acrobat.

However, the highlight color should be a light blue, not grey.

Hi Try67

Sadly, I think you're right. But that's such a shame. I can't believe I'm the only one who has a problem with this? And yes, you're correct, the colour is light blue, not grey. I was hoping to be able to change it to something vibrant so that when I'm searching it's immediately apparent. Often the documents I'm proofreading have light coloured backgrounds and I'm often searching for a single character, so it's very hard to find the light blue highlighter on the page.

Thanks for your help, though!
