[Resolved] Highlighting search results text – Relevanssi-generated excerpts

Hello,
Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to use Relevanssi to search my Toolset custom search for text posts.
I would like to implement highlighting for the search terms in Toolset customs posts (using Relevanssi).
I contacted Relevanssi who asked the following question:
"Is Toolset using Relevanssi-generated excerpts? If it is, the highlighting should happen automatically, but if it's not, then I don't know what it is doing and can't really help you out there."

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have checked existing forum support and documentation, but cannot find the answer.
Any information or advice would be very welcome.
Best regards,
BillD

Hello.
Thank you for your reply.
I'll try this, but need help with the 2nd part.
I have added the PHP code to the function file (and corrected the spelling of highlight).
Please can you tell me where to put the shortcode, below, as I cannot see where it should go?
I used Custom Search Filter in blocks to create the search bar.
Thanks,
BillD

It will be able to search in the text of [wpv-post-excerpt], find and hightlight the keyword

[Minesh]

The shortcode you shared - you should add within the View's loop.

Thank you for your reply. I've tried, but not succeeded.
Can you please be more explicit?

[Minesh]

Can you please share problem URL and admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

When I try to access the wp-admin it shows the following message:
<codE>
Your access to this site has been limited by the site owner
[/php]

Can you please grant full access.

[BillD]

I think it was Wordfence.
Should be ok now.
Let me know if it is not.

[Minesh]

Can you please share bit more details with what keyword I should try to search and what you expect?

[BillD]

Yes of course.
Please try a search with the term "contract" in "recherche"
I would like to see the term "contract" highlighted using a yellow background where ever it appears in the results.
You can see the option in Settings / Relevanssi / excerpts and highlights.
This is what I am trying to achieve a search using Relevanssi which highlights the terms searched using the toolset custom search box.

When I try to search with the term "contract" and click on button ""Rechercher" it shows me the following message.

- Sorry, you are not allowed to preview drafts.

IT SHOULD be ok now. Just need to edit page and update.
Sorry about that.

[Minesh]

Its still not working - I get the same error message still.

[BillD]

Ok. I have checked again and there are no more restrictions on the page.
I can access it from a different browser and login. You should be able to too.

I've called the shortcode as given under:

[highlight-keyword][types field='anglais'][/types][/highlight-keyword]

Now, when I search for the keyword "contract" I can see it in yellow color:
