Search Engine Highlight Javascript 1.5

It has been almost a year since the last update (way too busy at the moment), but here you are — a new version of Search Engine Highlight Javascript for your websites. What is in this change:

  • More search engines are supported. Added MSN Live, Technorati and Dogpile.
  • Add the framework for search engines that don’t use query string, i.e. Technorati, Dogpile and many others.
  • Fix up an issue with Hilite.style_name_suffix = false.

It has also been tested on IE7, FF2 and Opera9. Go to the project page and download either the zipped file or the raw JS from my SVN repository.

I’m just wondering how difficult it would be to capture the search terms and place them in a text area instead of highlighting them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Xchanin

GoodDay Sir!
i Could not Control my excitement when i traced this article and the associated

Zubair,

This script attached to the window.onload event handler so it gets executed when all objects are loaded in the page. It looks at the referral of the document to determine the keyword people used to land on your page.

To get a list of keywords, you can do (in Javascript)

var keywords = Hilite.decodeReferrer(document.referrer);

keywrods will just be a Javascript array of search keywords.

How would I modify this highlight code to not highlight certain words? For example, I would want “and”,”of”,”to” to highlight.
