Selection highlights don't appear in Visual Studion 2013 Ulitmate

I have recently installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. There is a feature in Visual Studio which highlights all the matching words in the opened document.

So if the file contains the word 'Void' many times then highlighting it in one place would also highlight it wherever it occurs.

Additionally small blue lines would be shown on the right scroll bar indicating where the word occurs in the current document.

This feature is either not working or enabled in my current installation.

Can someone please guide me?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

There should also be a similar option under general that would allow you to enable the highlighting. Frankly, I'm confused as to how a version installed without it enabled already; considering it is the most convenient thing about Visual Studio.
