Result highlighting

Perhaps this is a question, if so I couldn’t find anything in the documentation searching for “highlighting” or “highlight”.

In the awesome auto-complete demo you can type in marblles and it finds ...All the Marbles

What I’d love to be able to do is display:

<div class="search-result">
  ...All the <mark>Marbles</mark>
</div>

If it wasn’t for the smarts within FlexSearch I could achieve this with a simple regex. Or, if the result object from a search could give me the clues (i.e. that the word “Marbles” matched the input “marblles”) then I could use that to do a simple regex.

I probably found a way to extend the new language processing pipeline to give support for custom “wrap”. At least it would be the best place to apply these logic without storing additional data/marker within the index.

Hi @ts-thomas Now that 0.7.x is out. Is there any news on this front?

You mentioned “custom wrap” but I see no mention of it in the README.

To step back a bit, in the original post of this issue, I mentioned it would be nice to get find out which words, after suggestion-correction, were matched. I.e. I searched for marblles and it matched on Marbles. What about the simpler case. If I searched for SEARCH and a document is matched because it contain this is a search solution. Here it would be nice know that it matched on line 1, column 1-16. Or, if I use the OR operator and someone searched for SEARCH BLABLA it would be nice that SEARCH matched something but BLABLA didn’t.
