Just append a url variable containing the search term to the link that opens
the next page so know what word(s) to highlight.

Eg...

<a
href="http://link.to/my.doc?searchterm=#urlencodedformat(form.searchterm)#">
link to page</a>

Subject: Re: Highlighting a Search Term

i find it quite easy to just do this:

#replaceNoCase(getEntries.username,form.searchTerm,'<span
style="background:##ffffdd">#capFirst(form.searchTerm)#</span>','all')#

basically just replacing the content of the value form.searchterm, in
the display
with the value and a pale yellow background.
