I would like to humbly request this be improved. While this feature does help, it bearly helps and the differance between a highlighted item and a non highlighted one, when looking at a grid of 100 blocks, is not obvious at all at a glance. Especially in Dark Mode where it is even worse. (Its not as good as it could be in non dark mode either) (this need extra care too).

If we could at least maybe have an option to completely darken the icon and the background of things that dont match a search that would be amazing.

Youre amazing.

When configured this is about the best contrast you can get

But it looks horrific.

Ideally what a good highlighter does is highlight the items themselves and keep all the other boxes either the same or dims them. It seems like it tries to dim what ISNT a hit only and that results in poor highlighting. If we can get the hits to be like bright red (or whatever color the user selects with opacity) and the non-hits to dim (as well as the icon) that would be amazing.

This is a bug and it should not look like this. I'll investigate the cause.

I'm not able to replicate it with everything updated. Please let me know if you're still having the issue.
It's supposed to look like this by default:

Fixed on NeoForge 1.21.1
