Use this tiny hack to Highlight search-result on WordPress. Open search.php and Replace the_exerpt() with:
echo $excerpt;
And then add the following just before the edited line:
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
$keys = explode(" ",$s);
$excerpt = preg_replace('/('.implode('|', $keys) .')/iu', '<strong class="search-excerpt">\0</strong>', $excerpt);
Now the last step is add .search-excerpt class your style.css and do whatever style you really like it. That’s it.



Thanks for the details. Let me try it.
