I know this is a little bit off topic here, but I need to ask it here because I'm using MyFaces in this project, so here it goes...
I need to present a dataTable that represents search results coming from a search query (query of books, articles,documents etc. ). Lets say I have 4 columns to display (KeyNumber,Author,Title,Subject), within those columns I need to highlight the exact words that the user used in querying/searching. Lets say the user searched for Bert Bates. The dataTable will be presented somewhat like this: KeyNumber Author Title Subject 00001 Eric Freeman, Bert Bates, Elisabeth Freeman Head First Design Pattern Certifications,Java 00002 Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates Head First Java Java, OOP As you can see, the column where the search query has a match is not highlighted completely. Only the words that match up with the search string itself. Can this be done using MyFaces? I hope you can provide some ideas and suggestions as to what approach I can use or investigate. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Search-Highlighting-tf4339753.html#a12362158 Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
