Dan Collins <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Dan Collins <[email protected]> 2011-07-15 04:28:36 UTC --- Greetings, This is not likely to be implemented in the wiki software itself. This is because in order to do this, we would need to perform a query against the entire page table every time a user attempted to edit a page, which would carry extreme performance problems. For very small wikis, this is feasible, however would probably have to be implemented on the client side (as JavaScript working with the API). A few more things to consider: Some articles have titles more than one word long, and so there could be ambiguities in what was to be highlighted. On wiktionaries, this would result in every incidence of 'a', 'the', and so on being highlighted. In fact, most wikipedias have an article for every letter, common numbers, and so on. There are actually a few alternative wiki page editing tools - that do things like WYSIWYG, for example - that might already do something like this, and that are probably better suited for doing it that our default editor, which has always been a simple textarea.
