Highlight searched keywords

Mh you could use theming of the view itself and calling in preprocess_views_view

function search_excerpt($keys, $text); on the rows.

<?php
function hook_preprocess_views_view(&$vars) {
  $vars['rows'] = search_excerpt($keys, $vars['rows']);
}
?>

I think you have to read out $keys out of $vars, but i'm not sure how to do it.

Hi,

Also looking for this solution. Want to mimic the core search results with searching content via an exposed filter.

Example: if a user searches for "String" i'd like the output to come back as

Lorem ipsum blah blah <span> String </span> lorum blah text...

I would also like this. Did either of you have any luck?

I think there's already another issue about this, but leaving it open. If someone feels like duplicate hunting, that would be nice.

There was an aborted attempt to write a style that would emulate core search. That was never completed however (but some of the aborted code is actually still in Views; it went in during the initial search implementation). We would need a volunteer to fix this up.

I found a solution and I think it's the duplicate merlinofchaos meant.
You can find it at: http://drupal.org/node/488466

This solution also works for me.

thx

to expand on solution from #1,

probably the easiest way to implement this is create a template file in your theme for your "body" field views-view-fields--my-view--body.tpl.php then in the template would go something like:

print search_excerpt($view->exposed_data['keys'], $output);

Great, thanks for the solution.

All what I had to do is to replace the "keys" word with the name of the field:

     print search_excerpt($view->exposed_data['title'], $output);
