Settings keyword highlighting in search wobject  (#11309)
Issue

At the moment the highlighting of keywords in the title and synopsis is done automatically by HTML::Highlight. It would be nice if the Search asset had settings for at least color, background color and font-style (strong, italic etc).

Another option would be to put  the keywords in a span with a class, so it is fully stylable.

Please approve this RFE, I would like to add some karma.

Thanks,

Rogier

I'll update the difficulty for doing span class="wg-highlight"

Approved.

To whomever implements this: please give me a heads up when the change will be committed so I can supply the wg-base.css with the highlight class added.

Lorem <span class="wg-highlight keyword1">ipsum</span> <span class="wg-highlight keyword2">dolor</div> sit amet.

I admit it's a bit bulky, but it allows designers to set a default style (wg-highlight) and, optionally, a style for each keyword up to keywordN.

Will there be any more complications to up the difficulty or is that it? :-)

We can probably get away with allowing only 5 different colors and repeating them. Too many colors and it'll just look weird. Agree/Disagree?
