Default Search Engine Highlighting - 09-09-2004 , 10:41 AM






There's an excellent article at ALA on enhancing your site to highlight
search terms on requests referred from search engines:

I've just implemented this on my site. Click the top hit here:

Props to Brian Suda.

Yeah, it will. If you don't provide information, don't expect help! ;-)

I'm doing something similar. Since I'm doing this on a product page, I'm
also putting the keywords in a search box, ala Google. I have my script
redirect from the main page to the products page if the referrer was
Google, and if the keywords were found.
