No, not yet. But it is under consideration for a future version of Everything, including highlighting the text you searched for with the content: function.

It was discussed a couple of times (you're not the first to find this useful :)), but I can't find the relevant threads at the moment.

Ha, you got me there! :D
I forgot I even had this as I don't use it anymore (too slow ...). The syntax highlighting question triggered me.

Enable the Search from caret checkbox and click the Search button again.

(FWIW: on my (old) machine it takes 7 seconds to load and start the preview handler)

Thanks, some function key would be simpler.
The startup on my system is less than 3 seconds in Everything and even less in Total Commander.

Agreed, but I don't know if that is possible given that this preview pane is controlled by Everything (like an iframe in webpages, I imagine) and not an independent application.
