refind() should return you the offset of the match, so then use mid to return 
pos-50 to pos+50 characters. Optionally scan forwards and back to the next 
space char.

If you want to take a look at Lucene, I believe they have a highlighter that
you might be able to use if you want more accurate things.

A list of results is returned - with the title/link of the 
practice/attorney (this is a law firm) that returned positive for the 
search. You get the first X number of characters off the page in 
question and a link to go to that page. From there you can click the 
link and go to the full page. Highlighting the search term there isn't 
that big of a deal, using the "highlight string" method.

Something like (psuedo code)


   #Attorney_Name#
   #right(bodyCOPY, 150)#



Instead of the first 150 number of characters from the bodyCOPY field, 
they'd like to see X number of characters on either side of the specific 
sentence from the bodyCOPY field that contains the search term.

Do they really want the entire sentence containing the term, or would they
be satisfied with just highlighting the search term itself? If they'd be
okay with that, the method takes care of that for you.

Found it - I was working on a method to do this by scanning through the
string to find the search term and then replacing it with the appropriate
CSS highlight style

The harder part is - out of a huge SQL text field, containing almost
everything on a page, including some HTML tags, how do I get it to display
the one sentence down in paragraph 78 containing the search term? This is
the part I'm having trouble wrapping my head around.

RESULTS 1
. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah *TERM* blah
blah blah blah blah ...

RESULTS 2
.blah blah blah blah *TERM* blah blah blah blah blah ...

Les...

There's a "highlight string" method on cflib. I've used it before.

It's OK, when they add stuff outside the original site spec, they pay out
the nose for it...

Search feature on a site - mostly looks for keywords in the body copy from
site pages, which is mostly contained in a database. Functionality is mostly
a view or two in the database and then queries on the site side. Nothing too
complex.

Now they're asking - "hey, when we see the search results, can we see the
specific sentence that contained the keyword and highlight it"?

Can anybody point me in a direction to pull something like this off?
