Content search & results

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 69813
interpreted = N
texte = Gang- I'm drawing a brain freeze at the moment, help needed. I have a database full of news articles. I have a simple search that searches the database for the keywords in a "woARTICLEdatarq=[url]getcontent[/url] manner. No problem. What I would like though in the results page is a list of the articles found with a small excerpt that contains the phrase searched for (not the entire article). Limiting the number of characters displayed is no problem of course, it's getting it to show the certain amount of characters beginning with the phrase searched for (a nice touch would be to highlight the search phrase as well). Any suggestions or is this too much to ask? Tanks! ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
