If you do a search through some apps, it’s really neat to see the letters or term you searched for ‘highlighted’ in the text results.
That would be a neat feature built into the text item. Perhaps a binding field for ‘letters to highlight’, and a highlight color selection field.
That way, you can bind the ‘letters to highlight’ property of the text item to a text input asset.
For example, if I build a directory, and I’m searching for a name…if I type the letters “Jo”, it will bring a list of people of Joes and John’s, with the “Jo” portion of their name highlighted.
This would also be extremely useful if your search goes across multiple fields. Let’s say I have an office directory, and a sample tenant would be “RealEyes Displays, Suite 300, Description: Owned by Johnny Johnson for 24 years, use the left entrance”. I could create a search field that concatenates all those fields into one so they are easily searchable. However, in the list that is showing, each field is separate, but I can still use the highlight text feature of each field that is bound to the search term. So if I type “Jo” in the search, it will bring up RealEyes Displays…with the “Jo” of Johnny Jonson highlighted in the description.
Cool hey? Can we add this?
