Highlight Search Terms in Archive from Referring Search Engines
 

Using this modification, when someone finds your site through a search engine and clicks the URL that takes them to the Archive, the terms they searched for will be highlighted. This should work on all version of vBulletin less than or equal to 3.5.3. If you have 3.5.4 or later, install this hack instead.

Supported Search Engines (If you can think of more, please let me know.):
Google
Yahoo!
MSN
Altavista
Lycos
Ask Jeeves

Here's an example: Imagine someone searches Google and your forum is in their search results. If they click the link it will take them to the Archive, and if you have this hack installed, it will highlight the words they searched for.

Nice thanks!

Updated to fix a bug where words at the very end or beginning of the page might not get highlighted.

To upgrade, just replace clientscript/searchhighlight_replace.js with the new version.

I've installed this but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Does this work with 3.5.4?

Perhaps the problem is related to this:

I think djwins may have a point, perhaps some rewriting needs to be done.

Anyone, bueller?

I didn't want to respond until I had an update ready, but thanks for pointing it out. Who knows how long it would have been until I noticed otherwise.

Anyway, here's the updated version.
