[thelist] Highlighting a keyword within posting retrieved

[klute]

Thanks, Hassan

Your reply is very helpful. Regex may be the way to go
but it comes with this challenge: I can't really do a
straight search and replace of the actual keyword with
SPAN since that keyword can be a part of another
(potentially unrelated) word. So, I'd have to search
and replace multiple times using a combination of
these:
- search <space><keyword>
- search <keyword><space>
- search <keyword><comma>
- search <keyword><period>
- search <forward slash><keyword>
- search <keyword><forward slash>
- etc.

That's a lot of search and replace especially for
searches containing multiple keywords but I realize
that it might be my only option.

I wish there was a regex library or something that
does what a search against a fulltext index does in
MySQL.

Best,
James
