Search Highlighter plugin

Search Highlight part deux

I've been having a play with our Search Highlight plugin. Mainly to see if it could be easily upgraded to 1.9.x or whether it'd require a rewrite. At the same time I decided to try and make it as 100% a plugin as possible, as the original involved a fair few changes to your skins _main.php, which makes upgrading a tad tougher. I'm happy to say that after a few days of beating my head against the wall that it appears to be finished Obviously it still requires a fair amount of testing but *touch wood* it appears to do what it should with absolutely no skin modifications at all!

If any of you fancy having a play with it then you can find it here. If you find any bugs then feel free to let me know

*edit 2^nd Feb 2007*

I forgot to include the styles for the highlighting ..... yeah yeah, so shoot me for being blonde .... these have now been included and the zip has been updated. You can override the default styles in your skins stylesheet.

If you've already installed the plugin then simply uninstall it and delete am_search.plugin.php from your plugins directory. Then upload the am_search_plugin folder in the zip to your blogs plugins folder, reinstall it and all should be well

lol, it's just a flash way of saying "if you type in a search term in the box above and hit go, then it'll put gaudy colours around the words wherever it finds them

Lol, oh good no need for me to call an ambulance or come round kicking your door down then

Had my peepers tested last week and they told me to stop wearing the specs ? How cool. Oh but he also told me to have my cholesterol checked at quacks.

Went this morning and was not keen as they stuck a needle in my arm and fiddled around trying to find a vain. Just to tell me that they were going to have to do it again in the other arm................ Well impressed I tell you. (Sorry I forgot you are not keen either, infact worse than me and you are probably picking yourself off the floor as you read this) Did I mention they used a bloody big NEEDLE :>>
