Version 1.6.3 Highlight Bug & Fix

[Charter]

Hi. The version 1.6.3 highlight fix to fix the version 1.6.2 highlight problem with exact words has a bug.

The bug is that with version 1.6.3, if you search on say 'php' using words begin or any words part, you will see something like 'blah blah phpdigHighlight">php' in the search results.

To fix this in version 1.6.3 do the following.

1. In robot_functions.php find:
   
   PHP Code:

   //replace any group of blank characters by an unique space
$text = ereg_replace("[[:blank:]]+"," ",eregi_replace("<[^>]*>","",$text)); 

   and right after add:
   
   PHP Code:

   //strip characters used in highlighting
$text = str_replace("^#_","",str_replace("_#^","",$text)); 

2. In phpdig_functions.php replace the phpdigHighlight function with the following:
   
   PHP Code:

   function phpdigHighlight($ereg='',$string='')
{
if ($ereg) {
//    return @eregi_replace($ereg,"\\\\1<span class=\"phpdigHighlight\">\\\\2</span>\\\\3",$string);
    $string = @eregi_replace($ereg,"\\\\1<^#_>\\\\2</_#^>\\\\3",@eregi_replace($ereg,"\\\\1<^#_>\\\\2</_#^>\\\\3",$string));
    $string = str_replace("^#_","span class=\"phpdigHighlight\"",str_replace("_#^","span",$string));
    return $string;
}
else {
    return $result;
}
} 

3. In search_function.php there are four places where the following occurs:
   
   PHP Code:

   phpdigHighlight($reg_strings,phpdigHighlight($reg_strings, 

   In these four places, remove the following from each line:
   
   PHP Code:

   // the first instance of phpdigHighlight($reg_strings,
// and also one ending ) to match parentheses 


Remember to remove any "word" wrapping in the above code.

EDIT: PhpDig version 1.6.4 includes this fix. See the Changelog for more details.

so is this the cure for the 2 word highlight thing in exact words or something else?

Hi. This is the fix to the fix for the word highlighting in exact word searches. I'd recommend just installing version 1.6.4.
