Where is the %^#@ term I searched for?
Wednesday Apr 27, 2005
Ever do a search and then spend way too much time clicking on results & looking for the word you just searched for? The search team feels your pain.
Check out new highlight-your-search-term-in-the-document functionality on the sun.com search. Do a search. Click on the icon to the right of the result title.
This will allow you to open the result in a new window with the word you searched for highlighted. Hmm. Maybe Solaris 10 isn't the best example (even though you do get to see the cool logo in the results) since it's a widely used term and easy to find on pages. Search for something like "project rave." Search for your own name (you never know what that will result in). Heck, search for "foo." A random fact: We get a whole lotta people who enter "foo" in the search box... and it's not the great folks testing search cause I've asked. We also get a lot of other odd searches that are pretty funny. I'll have to blog about those later.
Another thing - if you try out the highlighter, please take a sec to provide some feedback. There are feedback links at the bottom and in the right nav of the search pages. And if you want us to change the page to hot pink, we will certainly consider it. Maybe. Maybe not. ;-)
