In this box, the user can input keywords or phrases they wish to highlight and select the desired highlighting color. The highlighting system stores 12 default, high-contrast colors from which a user can choose. If more colors are needed, the user can add additional highlights and choose specific colors for each line. Additionally, the colors for each search line are fully customizable should the user want or need different or specific colors. To customize the color: 1. click on the **color square** in the “Highlight” window 2. click “**Pick a custom color**,” and 3. select a new color using either the **color palette and slider** or entering a specific **Hex color code**. The order of the highlight colors in the “Highlights” window can be reordered by grabbing and dragging the dot matrix for each highlights line. Highlights at the top will have priority; highlights will take the color of a “higher up” color if the same term repeats in two different lines. ![](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-09-2024-06-01-39-7248-PM.png?width=525&height=524&name=image-png-Aug-09-2024-06-01-39-7248-PM.png) ### Minimap In Detail view, a highlight Minimap is placed between the center pane and right pane. The Minimap shows where and how frequently within the document highlights are present. Using the Minimap, the user can quickly see whether each specific highlighted idea may be described by the document and where they need to scroll to see the highlighted text. ![](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-09-2024-06-04-36-4247-PM.png?width=2539&height=2072&name=image-png-Aug-09-2024-06-04-36-4247-PM.png) - [Getting started](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Workspaces and Search projects](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/getting-started?hsLang=en#workspaces-and-search-projects) - [Crafting Search Strings](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/getting-started?hsLang=en#crafting-search-strings) - [Ways to search](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/getting-started?hsLang=en#ways-to-search) - [Seeing your results](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/getting-started?hsLang=en#seeing-your-results) - [Search Guide](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/search-guide?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Interface](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/search-guide?hsLang=en#interface) - [Methods of Searching](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/search-guide?hsLang=en#methods-of-searching) - [Reviewing References](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/search-guide?hsLang=en#reviewing-references) - [Other](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/search-guide?hsLang=en#other) - [Patent Coverage](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/patent-coverage?hsLang=en) - [Inputs](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/inputs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Operators](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/inputs?hsLang=en#operators) - [Fields and Commands](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/inputs?hsLang=en#fields-and-commands) - [Special Characters](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/inputs?hsLang=en#special-characters) - [Alerts](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/alerts?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Customization](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/settings?hsLang=en#customization) - [Videos & Webinars](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/videos-webinars?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Full Overview of How to Use Quartet](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/videos-webinars?hsLang=en#full-overview-of-how-to-use-quartet) - [ProTip Videos](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/videos-webinars?hsLang=en#protip-videos) - [Webinars](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/migration/quartet/videos-webinars?hsLang=en#webinars) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/hs-fs/hubfs/EnsembleIP%20logo%20(light)-2.png?width=132&height=24&name=EnsembleIP%20logo%20(light)-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://knowledgebase.ensembleip.com/?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2026, Ensemble IP LLC
