Yes, I ran into the same problem yesterday while looking around the
resources for building your own search engines for Firefox.  They
mentioned some bolded or highlighted text so I wanted to try the
attribute key in Orca and alas, it did not work.  It would sure be
nice to have that functioning in Firefox.  I wasn't aware of any
places where this wasn't expected to work.
