A simple search result

richardw

Hi There,

I am trying to develop a search application and display result some what like googles but a bit unique.

I get an array of text from DB table than contains or match an array after the search keyword
likes (''machine","ticket" )

example the query return a result like;

$cBody ="The blah blah upper level machine had installed with holder blah blah, blah...... to ticket hold with blah ...blah";

if I uses

$cBodySearchResult = substr_replace($cBody, ', 50);

echo $cBodySearchResult;

//

The will be the result:

"The blah blah upper level machine had installed with ...."

I will perfer had search with the given array and highlight it likes :

"... upper level machine had installed with .... to ticket hold with blah ..."

Thanks in advance

Ok so your question is regarding highlighting the search terms in the results? Say I search for : php
it would return :

Link Title
Link Descrip Link Descrip php php asp php.net hi
LinkUrl

Is that what you want to do? Highlight the searched terms in the result description?

Hi,

Say I search for : "php", "net","developer" are found in few long text statements with these word contains or match in DB result.

Perfer to breakup into 3 sections(each section contain upto 50 chars with the keyword highlighted) sometime these words are found very far apart

php php asp php.... net blah blah.....developer are found here.... in these text far apart or in different sentences but in the same text result

Perfer to breakup into 3 sections(each section contain upto 50 chars with the keyword highlighted) sometime these words are found very far apart

what do you mean break up into 3 sections? Each keyword has a section? So basicall when they type php developer project they would get results for each indivdually? Is that what you want?
