Search output wrapps w/strong element allso for strings inside words

marios · 2006-03-21 23:10:16

It seems like Textpattern mistakenly wrapps query strings even inside words as a string /part of that word (v4.03).
for the returned search query.
Is this default behavior for search output?

I believe that this is a bug, but just out of curiosity i first post here.
The problem here is not with the search result, but with the way the query term gets wrapped up in the result.

<h2>Example for a query for the term “in”</h2>

<h2>will display result in something like that:</h2>

The problem with this for me is , that I have a special style applied to all strong elements, and the results would rather like silly the way it is.

Textpattern does match partial words in search results, so the hilighted portions are accurate.

You could wrap your search results in a div to avoid the style problem.

Can I change the partial match to word match in taghandlers ?
(I allso prefer the highlighting as is)

Of course. This is open source, change what you like.

Ok, if I wanted to change it then, I assume that the result is stored in $result in publish , but where does it get truncated ?
Is my guess right that, if I change the regular expression for the preg_match_all function,would do it ?

EDIT.:It would take me quite some time to figure this out on my own so that’s why I am asking you.

The behaviour of the search_excerpt tag is governed by the search_excerpt tag handler.

Ok, I was wandering in the dark it seems, that should point me in the right direction,

Ah and zem,before I forget it , thanks for the programming tutorials, they’re really nicely written,
I have to catch up on those as well it seems,
