Yes, hints can not be highlighted.
But hints can contain additional good words to search for.

Searching for very common stuff is a problem anyway. Typing "e" in the 
filter returns a lot.

Alternatively, each page could define keywords.

The feature is already great. And I do by no means want to make it look 
like I do not like it. I like it a lot.
I just expect users may not search or the terms we use for description...
We anyway have very few hints currently...

MAybe wait for feedback first, let users tell us what they type to 
search....
