    Some of our clients have asked for more powerful search features than either EE or Solspace’s SuperSearch provide - eg highlighting search terms in results’ page excerpts, searching Word and PDF documents, filtering results by section from the results page.

    Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Have you seen this plugin?


    Everything else, particularly the requirement to search external docs, would require additional code, yes.

    Yes, thanks for that. It’s for highlighting terms on entry pages rather than results pages though. I also found the excerpt plugin - EE1 only I assume.

    It’s the ability to search PDFs that comes up most frequently - I was hoping someone else had already come up with a solution to this…

    The Search Results module looks like a step in the right direction.
