Description

The search plugin’s experimental features search.highlight and search.share don’t seem to work as intended.

Expected behaviour

1. Search highlighting would highlight the searched text on each search result by adding a mark tag around each search result which would eventually be highlighted either using Pygments or highlight.js. I even tried disabling CodeHilite in favor of the Highlight extension with Superfences extension along with mermaid2’s custom fences but it didn’t seem to work as intended.
2. Search sharing icon would be seen on the Search box and would enable sharing of search term/results.

Actual behaviour

1. No search highlighting on search results. mark tag not added.
2. No search sharing icon seen.

With the help of my awesome sponsors, I’m happy to tell you that we just reached the funding goal which will release those three features into the wild. Expect 7.2 within the next days, including all features from Biquinho Vermelho

It would be incorrect, because we’re not rendering search suggestions below the search bar, but search results, i.e. the actual documents.
