Hi Susan,
Very cool additions indeed.
PS. Is it a plugin or a snippet?
Plugin. Hooked to the OnWebPagePrerender event. Sorry, thought I said that in the first place!

Cool. Didn’t see the Plugin part only saw the the changes made to "FlexSearchForm"
I do have a related question for you core gurus. Is there a way to tie a plugin to a TV so that it will only run if the TV is present in the template?
One thing, it would be nice to not have it run at all if you don’t want it, so you just don’t put the TV in the template if you don’t want it.
The other thing, that would make it much easier to allow the user to modify the colors and styles used to mark the search term on a document-by-document basis. For example, if I code it to have a search term with red text, and you have a template that makes all links red, it would be a Bad Thing. On the other hand, leaving it not styled and the user has to style it in his CSS is a bit awkward.

Hi Susan,
It’s not with 0.9.0 to bind a Plugin to a TV but you can create a plugin that will look inside the template/document for a special TV. If found it can be made to execute special code.
Ok. Well, anyway, I added configuration to the plugin:
&term1=Term1;text;color:red &term2=Term2;text;color:blue &term3=Term3;text;color:green &term4=Term4;text;color:goldenrod
You can edit this to make it underline or background or whatever styling you want, change the colors, and you could add more if you wanted to, but I loop it in the new plugin code:
if(isset($_GET['searched'])) {
$searched = $_GET['searched'];
$output = $modx->documentOutput; // get the parsed document
$body= explode("<body>", $output); // break out the head
$searchArray = explode(' ', $searched); // break apart the search terms
$i = 0; // for individual class names
foreach($searchArray as $word) {
$i++;
switch($i) {
case 1:
$style=$term1;
break;
case 2:
$style=$term2;
break;
case 3:
$style=$term3;
break;
case 4:
$style=$term4;
break;
default:
$i=1;
break;
}
$pattern = '(>[^<]*)('. quotemeta($word) .')';
$replacement = '\\1<span style="'.$style.'">\\2</span>';
$body[1] = eregi_replace($pattern, $replacement, $body[1]);
}
$output = implode("<body>", $body);
$modx->documentOutput = $output;
}
Is there any way to include a ; in the configuration text:
&term1=Term1;text;color:red;border:1px solid red &term2=Term2...

Hmmm,
The properties tab does not escape ; at this point in time
Might be better to have text put in quotes and take the whole string in quotes verbatim?

We will have to see which is faster.
