ElasticSearch: display text where searched word appears

[Diego Martinez]

Hi everybody,

I have this template for the search_page:

         {% for t in titles%}

            <h1 class="search-title">{{ t.search_title }}</h1>

            <h2 class="search-subtitle">

                {% if search_results %}

                    {% for result in search_results %}

                        {% if forloop.last %}

                            {% if forloop.counter > 1 %}

                                {{ forloop.counter }} {% trans 'results for' %}

                            {% else %}

                                {{ forloop.counter }} {% trans 'result for' %}

                            {% endif %}

                        {% endif %}

                    {% endfor %}

                {% else %}

                    {% trans '0 results for' %}

                {% endif %}

                {% if search_query %}

                    "{{ search_query }}"

                {% endif %}

            </h2>

        {% endfor %}

        {% if search_results %}

                {% for result in search_results %}

                    <div class="search-result-row">

                        <a class="search-result-link" href="{% pageurl result %}">{{ result }}</a>

                        {% if result.search_description %}

                            {{ result.search_description|safe }}

                        {% endif %}

                    </div>

                {% endfor %}

        {% endif %}

I would like to show the text where the search string appears on the web, is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi Diego

Can you be more specific?
Is this an HTML question or something Elasticsearch/Wagtail specific?

Greetings

It's a Elasticsearch/Wagtail specific question. I want to do is to show in the template the associated text field where Elastic found the word. Sample:

If i search "Welcome", now i show in the template the page where the word is found, but i need too the text or paragraph (field value) where the word is.

"Welcome" ----> page

"Welcome to my web site"  ----> field value inserted in wagtail admin

[Diego Martinez]

"Welcome" in the template is {{result}} (obtained with search_results), but i don't know what variable save the other value("Welcome to my web site."). I need to show this.

Interesting use case, and indeed elasticsearch specific.
I don't know the elasticsearch bindings well enough for that.
Anybody?

Hi Diego,
As far as I'm aware this isn't currently supported by Wagtail's search module, but work on it is in progress here:

Cheers,
