How to change search background color in eclipse

Question

I\'ve been searching for about 40 minutes now and this is just so frustrating...

The standard search result background color in eclipse is freaking white and black. Ever

Answer 1

In the Eclipse menu bar: Windows->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations

Then scroll down to "Search Results" and set the highlighted text color.

This works for Eclipse Helios and Eclipse Juno. I haven't tested other versions.
