... but only for the simple search without filter operation keywords.

How would you highlight criteria that starts with NOT?  
How would you highlight tracks where only a comparison of fields and other properties leads to the result?  
I still see the problem of fields with a lot of data like lyrics.  
Also see this thread about generally highlighting tracks/fields after applying a filter:

Some titles are quite long and it would be nice to see where the word is at a glance. Is there an option for this in mp3tag, if not would you consider implementing it? Many thanks.

Nothing like the discussed pros and cons have yet led to an implementation.  
I see a problem, though, if the highlighting disappears as soon as you apply a filter keyword.
