Highlight text in search results

[mckots87]

Hi, is there any way to highlight the found text in the search results as the user types in live view, similar to Algolia or how a browser text search works?. Can you please help with a possible code snippet where I can add a custom color, or css values for this. Thank you so much for any help!

Hi,

Sure, there is a built-in feature for that. You can find it here: https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/layout-settings/search-phrase-highlighter

Thank you but I am using the Elementor Posts widget with a custom Loop template to display results so I believe that is why this option is not working?

I really, truly appreciate any help and thank you again.

Oh I see, that is not possible yet unfortunately. It might not be that complicated to implement, I have added this to the feature requests list. Keep an eye on the upcoming update (within few weeks), I’m 99% sure I can apply the highlighter to the elementor results.

Oh ok. I’ll keep an eye out for that, thank you.
