Highlight Search Terms 0.6

Highlights search terms using jQuery when referer is a Google, Yahoo or Lycos search engine or within WordPress generated search results. This plugin is a light weight, low resource demanding and very simple fusion between How to Highlight Search Terms with jQuery - theme hack by Thaya Kareeson and Search Hilite by Ryan Boren.What does it do?This low impact plugin uses only two action hooks, init to insert the jQuery library (already included in your WordPress package) and wp_head to add a custom jQuery extension to your page source code. The jQuery extension that runs after the page has loaded, finds all search terms on that page inside each div with class hentry and wraps them in ... tags. Note that N is a number starting with 0 for the first term used in the search phrase increasing 1 for each additional term used. A (part of a) search phrase wrapped in quotes is considered as a single term.What do I need to do?There are no configuration options and there is no predefined highlight styling. You are completely free to define any CSS styling rules in your themes Stylesheet, style.css, to get a result that fits your theme best. You can find basic instructions and CSS examples under the Other Notes tab.In most up to date themes (including WP's own Default theme) post and page content is shown inside a div with class hentry. This means only search terms found in post and page content are highlighted. Not search terms that accidentaly show in the page header, sidebar or footer. If your current theme does not do this (yet) this plugin will not work for you out of the box. See the last of the FAQ's for ways to make it work.Installation :To make it work, you will need to take two steps. (I) A normal installation and activation procedure and (II) editing your Theme Stylesheet to contain your personal highlight styling rules.I. Use the slick search and install feature (Plugins -> Add New) in your WP2.7+ admin section or follow these basic steps. * Download archive and unpack. * Upload (and overwrite) the /highlight-search-terms/ folder and its content to the /plugins/ folder. * Activate plugin on the Plug-ins pageII. Add at least one new rule to your themes styleheet (style.css) to style highlightable text.For example use .hilite { background:#D3E18A; } to get a moss green background on search terms found in the content section (not header, sidebar or footer; assuming your Theme uses a div with class "hentry").Please find more examples under the Other Notes tab.
