Blog interface should highlight terms in search results #87

Right now searching is generally a two step process: search with the site's search engine, and then find on page using the browser. The blog interface could highlight terms in the HTML previews to make this easier.

This would NOT be part of the preview generators. It would operate on the output of any preview as HTML.

Another option is quoting the relevant section from the full text data in the meta-file. But that would probably be worse.
