Gerry, Searching based on the text (only) of rendered xhtml is relatively easy, for instance via the attached action plugin. (Place it into a /lib/plugins/searchrendered/ folder if you want to play with it. Pages will re-index as they're edited.) But that's only one of the issues involved. 1) What should quoted text (phrases) match? (This is done in core code: ft_pageSearch() in fulltext.php) 2) What snippet should be displayed for a match? Plain text with no xhtml? (This is done in core code: ft_snippet() in fulltext.php) 3) Which functions will break? (backlinks?) 4) Which plugins will break? (At least one that I use for tag searches) 5) ??? I too would like to see (an option for) rendered text searches. What does everyone else think?
