Theme views search results just like core

Jul

The views module is often used in place of or in addition to Drupal's core search module or other search modules when more control is required. By adding exposed filters, a site's visitors can narrow a search by the value of any field and many node object values.

The results can quickly be themed to highlight the search keys just like core search.

Fuzzy Search now with fuzzy misspelling corrections

Mar

Using the Fuzzy Search module, misspelled search keywords now highlight the correctly spelled word in the text. Usually. It is fuzzy after all.

This is currently in the dev version only.

You can set the accuracy by choosing a minimum spelling score from 0 to 100, where 100 means no misspellings are highlighted. You do not need to reindex when you change this setting.

Fuzzy search module ported to Drupal 6

Mar

I've just released a Drupal 6 version of the Fuzzy Search module. The module works independently of Drupal's core search, using its own index and settings.

Fuzzy means that it will return partial matches. If you search for treat, it would match treatise, treatment and treating. It also sorts results based on how accurate the match is. Treat would sore higher than treatment, becase treat matches the full keyword in your search.
