Highligting Not Working

[blneidle_eV6i]

I am not able to get the highlighter option to work. Ajax Search Pro is working correctly to find documents with key search words but is not highlighting the search words. I have followed the Ajax Search Pro Documentation on Highlighter and Load more features. I have also read the public support tickets on this topic but found none that were helpful. I am currently running WordPress 6.7.1 with the Twenty Twenty-Four theme.

Do you have any suggestion on what steps might be worth trying to get the highlighting option to work?

Thank you,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for all the details!

By “documents” do you mean files, such as PDF etc..? If yes, then I assume you mean when clicking on the document result itself the text should be highlighted? Unfortunately that is not possible. When a document is opened within the browser, it is opened within it’s own sandbox environment (not within wordpress), so there is no way to add scripts to it to highlight.
Google chrome will have a neat little feature in the future, where setting a query argument will hihglight some text, similarly to their search in file feature (CTRL+F). Once that’s possible we will try to integrate with that, but I don’t know how usable it’s going to be.
