For me this is very useful Firefox add-on that helps me in my day to day work and in researching for ProReviewer posts. I have recently compiled a new Portable Firefox 3 installation and Autocopy is one of the first few add-ons that I installed.
Personally I rate this as:
Simple to Use – Does a Very Good Job
What Could Make it be Better?
- Switch Highlighting on/off in pages
- Option to display one result per page/tab
(A page/tab find rather than all text/phrases)

Very Great Idea, but another great idea would be to do a real search engine allowing to make complex requests (with and,or,…).
