Highlight matching string

That would be awesome!

I modified search-autocomplete.js to include a _renderItem function that highlights the matched term. The modified function is on pastbin at https://pastebin.com/XzLbUrW4

The plugin uses the “min” version of this function so you would need to change the searchautocomplete.php program to enqueue your modified version.

Very cool addon. I’ll include this in the next release with a custom class name.

This has been added to the latest release (2.0.4). Matched strings are now surrounded with:

<span class="sa-found-text"></span>

So you can style that directly in your theme’s CSS to control how it looks.
