[RESOLVED] search results

[mikawhat]

i have a simple seach form, only one textbox, and i'd like to display the search term in the results in a different color or highlighted. Is there a simple way to achieve that?

I'd probably run the result text through a [man]preg_replace/man, having it replace the searched word(s) with the word surrounded by a <span> tag that includes a class, and in your CSS stylesheet or <style> block assign the desired color or other effect to that class.

$text = preg_replace('/\b'.$searchTerm.'\b/i', '<span class="search">\\0</span>', $text);

CSS:

.search {
   color: #c00;
   background-color: #ff9;
}
