Search Highlighting

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.

Hi,

you could use some javascript highlighter like this:

Are you using special characters for your search, a % or an *, AND or OR matching,
or are you doing a simple exact match?

Ok, are you using hibernate? Hibernate Search is beta, i know,
but it can build a fulltext index across your object entities,
and there is your search engine... There are also other possibilities
to link hibernate with lucene...

Yeah I've come across that Lucene capability. Unfortunately, we are doing the
search using database search. U have any more suggestions or ideas? Thanks

Hi

How are you doing the search? Is it a database search, or
are u using lucene, for instance? With lucene, you can use
she search result highlighter to generate html, and then
output it in your jsp/jsf page...

Mirko

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.
