It is used by many popular programs like Firefox to highlight search results on the Web page, Web services like Google to highlight search terms on the result page, and by many other programs and web sites. It is a good color because it is very noticeable, and at the same time the text on yellow background is still well readable. It would be good to use this background color for the `match' face on the default white background in Emacs. That is good reasoning, so I installed your patch.
