Works Well but it's a little off.. <code> {assign var='hilite' value="\\1"} {assign var='regex' value="/(?![^)("|cat:$smarty.request.s|cat:")/i"} {$content|regex_replace:$regex:$hilite} </code> This makes it case insensitive and will replace the found item with itself.. Just a thought... came across after searching for “Smarty Highlight”.

Works Well but it’s a little off..

{assign var='hilite' value="\\1"}
{assign var='regex' value="/(?![^)("|cat:$smarty.request.s|cat:")/i"}
{$content|regex_replace:$regex:$hilite}

This makes it case insensitive and will replace the found item with itself..

Just a thought…

Luckily, I've got the code for the plugin, so I'll try to fix it and give it back to the Blogsome team. It should only be swapping a check around, so it checks first to see if there's an <code>&s</code> in the URL, and then the referrer if there isn't.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get back references, which are required to replace case-insensitive text with the altered original, rather than the query as it was entered. That is, <b><em>Search</em></b> get replaced by <code><span class="hilite">search</span></code> not <code><span class="hilite">Search</span></code>. Too hard to do right now.

It continues to highlight terms you've searched for last time, so it gets confusing. I'll rewrite it so it's a bit nicer. Actually, I’m not so sure.

It is already highlighting search terms from Google, even though… Aha! Moment of brilliance! I'd activated the Search Hilite plugin, and this was colouring my results. I must have chosen the same method of indicating the hilight as them! I'll be honest. That one is better than mine! Okay, now it’s weird.

Apparently, <strong>Search</strong> matches <em>Search</em> and <em>search</em>, but <strong>search</strong> doesn't match <em>Search</em>, only <em>search</em>. Still, I'll leave it implemented for now. Might be useful. I could also check the referrer, and if it's a search engine, highlight their search terms too.
