Is there a plugin that makes it possible to do a Google Chrome like word search in Notepad++?
After a word search Google Chrome shows the approximate position of the line in which the word was found as a mark on the vertical scroll bar. There is a similar feature in eclipse. Is it possible to get a similar feature in Notepad++ as well?
There isn't much for Notepad++, but I would recommend taking a look at JN-NPP. There's no listing for it in the Notepad++ plugin manager, but it works with the latest version. Installation is done by just placing the dll, and the includes in your plugins folder in the Notepad++ directory (highlighted here).
One of it's main features is the Smart Highlighting, which is essentially what you are looking for (on highlighting of a word, all occurrences will appear as green lines on the right hand side).
It also has a slew of other features, such as JSHint (A tool that points out errors in JS code), CSSLint (cleans up CSS code), a basic SVN client, a music player (for some reason), and many others.
