Problem
In visual studio I find it very helpful to find where a variable is being used by highlighting it and all occurrences of that var will appear highlighted as well.
Is there a way to enable this feature in Sql Server Management studio 2014 while viewing scripts?
Text highlighting is mentioned here.
Thanks!

Solution
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2016 has this feature. There is no real reason to user the older versions now as it's supposed to be backwards compatible, although there may be a bug or two (see below).
