I have a collection of titles, and I am searching them with TS 2. The results
include some titles with multiple matches to the search string, which are being
formatted correctly with ellipses and highlighted search term matches.
My client would like the multiple matches within a title to be shown as a list,
like this:
1. text leading up to [match string] and text thereafter
2. text leading up to [match string] and text thereafter
3. text leading up to [match string] and text thereafter
so a searcher can see that the same term hit multiple times in that title more
clearly. All I can see in the excerpts documentation (both TS and Sphinx) is
that you can insert a string between multiple hits in a record. Is there a way
to use HTML in this context (like </li><li>), or to override the excerpt
builder in TS2? From what I gleaned from the Sphinx documentation, the return
from the BuildExcerpts command is a list of strings, so I am thinking that this
may be possible as long as TS intercepts the list rather than the raw string
returned with the concatenation operation already completed.
The other thing I was thinking was that I could just search for that
concatenation string in the result, and mangle the text into a list by
splitting on that term (obviously I would change it to something that could
never occur in my title records before I tried that).
Are there any other clever bits in TS that I have not discovered yet which
could make this simpler?
Thanks for all you do,
Walter
