Highlight keyword in title

leeaston 6 Feb 2013 15:46 question, complete

Keyword in title is not being highlighted in results. Is there a setting I've missed?

a href="{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{title}</a

Thanks!

   Currently it highlights words in the excerpt only.

   Is it something you'll be implementing? It seems like a natural addition given keywords are highlighted in the excerpt?

   Point is, people might not always use {title} as the title, but a custom field. Then you'd want to highlight keywords in any field, which (formatting wise) is a bit of a nightmare.
   
   You can add title highlighting by opening up ext.low_search.php (v2.2.0), then go to line #415, add a new line below it and put this there:
   
   

   $row['title'] = $this->_highlight_keywords($params, $row['title'], $tag);

   Thanks, that worked - wow your coding is neat!
   
   I get what you say about people might not always use {title} as the title, but a custom field. But having it as an option, a least for {title} would I think be useful for a lot of folks. Having search terms highlighted in the titles of a results page is pretty much expected - Google and friends do it, as does Super Search.
   
   Any chance of it getting in a release - save me hacking every update?
   
   All the best

   Will definitely consider it.
