search result - underline the keyword in the result

[hazelvenus]

hi there,
i have a search form (search.cfm) where the user enters a keyword to find. in the result page (result.cfm), i want the keyword that the user entered to be underlined within the result. suppose that the keyword is (web), and the result is (web development, website, and web, all are ...), then three words should be underlined.

do you have any idea how to implement that with coldfusion?

with regards.

Hi hazelvenus,

Suppose you have form variable: FORM.vrKeyword
(Ofcourse, this will contain the word 'web').

Then, you have a db field: qrName.content

Thus, you can use this:

#ReplaceNoCase(qrName.content,FORM.vrKeyword,&quot;<span class='underline'>&quot; & FORM.vrKeyword & &quot;</span>&quot;,&quot;ALL&quot#

This should do the trick.

(In the CSS class you just add: text-decoration:underline)

Hope it gets you further?

Gtz,

Any suggestions are more than welcome.
There's a LOT of work to do, so judge fairly.
