Would it be possible to highlight search term inside of the preview window?
This would make visual navigation easier. I don't quite see how it can be implemented with the current code as search query isn't passed to `preview.sh`.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the preview window invokes preview.sh and whether the search query is available at that boundary. Determine how the query could reach the preview and what preview output would need to change so matching terms are visibly highlighted.
