Search query highlighting

[dmyers]

It would be nice to be able to show highlighted matches in an interface for users.

Agreed. Would love to see this.

Since the result is pushed back from elastic search server, this is a workaround if you really want to highlight the text in the results. A simple php function:

This is no case sensitive and will highlight any maching Uppercase/Lowercase/mixed $searchtext in the provided $text.

See an exemple here http://www.icilekongossa.com/search?type=all&q=Cameroun

Assuming that you use a separate css to style the searchtext class like this:

span.searchtext { background-color: #ffff00; }
