Great plugin! Is there any way to use “Search Hilite” instead of simply use of <strong> tag?

Nice plugin. Added aggressive support of Asian text (it doesn’t contain whitespace, so need different method to cut text). Check URL for the detail of my modification, a patch to php program, or modified version of ylsy_search_excerpt.php. I’m glad if you use my patch and distribute combined version. Thx.

I installed and got this: Warning: Wrong parameter count for preg_match() in /home/httpd/vhosts/harvesttheweb.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/ylsy_search_excerpt.php on line 77

We have PHP 4.3.2 installed…

I only get ‘…’ as result(s). I’m currently using my own page templates, therefor i needed the ‘Search Everything’ Plugin (http://dancameron.org/searcheverything/) maybe that causes the probs ?

correction: sometimes i get only ‘…’ but when i get relevant text sometimes there’s html in it. Thjis shouldn’t be possible (‘$text = strip_tags($text);’ line 49) or did i overlook sth ?

It doesn’t work here at all, the search does tun up but no matches highlighted at all. Can it be a skin issue or chmod thing?

I have the same as Maurice. I’m using BLIX and also Search Meter, Search Pages, and Search Realoaded.

Hmm I use BLIX too, maybe it’s a blix thing? Any fix for this? Realy want something like this, it really makes search better!

where do I have tu put the function in the search template? thank you

great plugin – I’m using it in combination with Search Reloaded & Search Pages without any obvious problems.

The only thing that I have noticed, is that every now & then it will return the odd result where it just shows the start of the article, even though the item to be highlighted is much further down the article – I’ve looked through these articles where this happens though & I can’t see why they should be behaving any differently from the rest of the articles work as expected. It is only very occasionaly that this seems to happen though.

The problem is stranger than I first thought.
I found the previous example where I noticed the problem, which happened when it was running on a local copy of my site that I just use for testing (& is not up to date with posts.)
I tried the same search terms on my publicly accessible site though & they showed the post that didn’t display correctly before, without any problems.
Looking at the problem in more detail, it appears to happen with any terms that reference that post. I have a feeling though, that the post had some unicode text in it that got corrupted when I imported the database on my local machine though.

I’ve saved the problem search page here:
http://mtaylor.co.uk/wordpress/error/index.xhtml
(its the second of the two links)

& the page that it links to here:
http://mtaylor.co.uk/wordpress/error/page.xhtml

A problem I have noticed (which I can’t explain at all) is that Firefox doesn’t like certain pages when sent to it as XHTML, generally where a very common search term is used. (the page seems to validate fine though, & I can’t see the problem with it when I view the source.)
You can see an example of what I mean if you go to:
http://www.elginism.com/index.php?s=elgin

The error it gives is:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.elginism.com/index.php?s=elgin
Line Number 103, Column 167:

Like I said though, I can’t see what the problem is when I look at the source of that page.

How about us BLIX users? The plugin doesn’t seem to work when using this theme!

Hi! could you tell me where to put the “” I don’t know how to
use this?! and I need “Search Everything” Can they work together? thanks!

I’m testig this plugin on the local WP 2.0.2 install. It works fine apart from the problem that call to the_excerpt() outputs entire post + actual result from your plugin.

I found that the cause is this line from default-filters.php file:
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');

If I comment that out, then it outputs just the fragments, which is desired result.

Any ideas how to workaround this, without actually commenting out this file (it would simplify the future upgrades)?

The solution I found is to:
- remove the add_filter('the_excerpt', 'ylsy_search_excerpt'); line from the end of the plugin
- call echo ylsy_search_excerpt(''); instead of the_excerpt()

Hi,

I have installed this plugin, A Great work. I have few query’s and need your advice.

1. While installing this plugin, I was using

‘Search Everything’ Plugin (http://dancameron.org/searcheverything/)

. So, after the activation, I could not get Search Excerpts. I had then disabled Searrch Everything Plugin and got the Search Excertpts.

However, I am facing a minor problem, the result does not display background & padding around Post footer area i.e at the end of each Post, I have Meta Data and Bookmarks with a surrounding box and background color.

Could you please advice.

Regards,
