Higlight after searching

After you search it would be nice if the searched word(s) would be highlighted. Example: I do a search for "search" on forums. It gives me 200 results. I click on one. When I see the thread it shows the thread normally except that all the "search" words are highlighted. Of course this would also be nice when searching from tutorials and code

I actually downloaded this same forum on my site, and am doing that as well. On the search page, where it shows all the links, Matt would have to add another variable on it, something like:

?word=search

then in the code, say something like:

$content = str_replace("$word", "<font color="orange"><b>$word</b></font>", $content);

I'm trying to do that to, but have to figure out where to put it. I'm sure he'll do it, and yes, it's a great idea!!

Coopercentral: I'd suggest the process() function in funcs.forum.php. I'm adding this too ;)

tkarkkainen: Your site looks a lot like Codewalkers, and I think that's awesome. I noticed you use the same forum, so I assume you're going to do this too? Thanks for the help!!

Actually I can share the code for highlighting it. This is what I coded for the article page on my site. Tha page gets the highlighted words via ?highlight=words to be highlighted:



It can be easily adapted to anything.

Ya thanks!! I tryed something like that, but it didn't work, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks a lot!!
