How can I get my search results highlighted?

After doing a search on a word or phrase on my website, is it possible to
have the search results land on that word? Or the word to be highlighted?
As it is, you must read the whole page to even find the word or phrase?

Unfortunately not with the FP search bot. This requires a more advances
search engine or some custom programming.

Hope this helps,

There are asp and .net scripts out there that can access the Index Server
functionality of IIS, which is what the FP search index uses on Windows
hosts. I do not have the links with me to share the code with you at home
though.

I made my own search using the Index Server and ASP0- and I made it so that
the search terms were highlighted. Here in action is an older variant, but
my other implementations are not on public sites
