Description Subfader 2012-03-30 08:00:48 UTC
On the search result page, add an option to highlight the searched keywords on the pages.

After activating the option the links are index.php?title=Foo&highlight=my+keywords

On [[Foo]] the words "my" and "keywords" are highlighted (yellow/orange background).

Problem: rewriting the links on the search result page without page reload. This could be done with javascript/jquery?

It may not be useful for 90% of the searches where the user just wants to find an article, but it's extremely helpful when you research for a specific topic and you know there are lots of pages to look after.
Atm it's a pain to do so with the browser's search (searching the keyword again on each page) and esp when you have multiple seperate keywords.

Any words from a dev? Is this planned?
