C-x 3 C-s foo Only window with cursor "lights up" foo

Funny, I thought this worked ok -- I guess not.

    (at least not today, it doesn't!)

What, starting with 21.2 -- or was it 21.3 --
when you search for something, all the occurences
of it in the current window "light up", are displayed
in a different color.

Very, very nice.

However, when I get two side-by-side windows, via C-x 3,
with follow-mode on for "them", the lighting-up doesn't
seem to propagate across to the other side, which is
of course (in my case) just as visible.

That is, if in the left window, and search forward,
I'd expect all visible "foo" occurrences to light up.

Ditto for being in the right one and searching backwards.

(Actually, the direction of search seems not to matter;
  *all* visible foos (in the current window) light up,
  both above and below the cursor.)

Anyway, it'd sure be nice if the lighting-up would show
up in all windows into a given buffer, when follow-mode
is in effect.

Question: am I doing something wrong?


Thanks,

David
