Hi all.
I have to show highlighted fragments out of html documents in a live search
element on a web page.
How do I achieve this?
When analysing the documents, I strip\_html filter the html tags out of the
indexed document but the original source still contains the tags. This is
by intention, because I don't want to lose the tags, as I want to display
the full html text when user clicks on search hit.
But when _displaying_ the highlighted fragment, the tags should be filtered
out of the fragment, except the highlighting tags.
Please help!

I had discussed this with Shay.
Seems there is no clean way out.
I remove the tags ( partial tags too) out of the highlighted text.
Thanks
