How to specifiy whole words only in results

[schizmat]

Hello

Is it possible to configure/specify that the search results text only contains full words rather than partial or truncated words?

For example, a current client site under development returns:

...od practice...

when the client would prefer to see:

...good practice...

Apologies if I've missed something obvious in the docs/forum, but there you go.

The following code, and possibly related code, would need to be modified in search_functions.php to cut on a space rather than take a substring:

// v.1.8.7
$extract_content = substr($extract_content,$first_bold_spot,max(SNIPPET_DISPLAY_LENGTH, 2 * strlen($query_string)));

// v.1.8.8 RC1
$extract_content = mb_substr($extract_content,$first_bold_spot,$length_of_snip);

Probably not the most elegant solution but, I added a line which seems to work:

$extract_content = substr($extract_content,$first_bold_spot,max(SNIPPET_DISPLAY_LENGTH, 2 * strlen($query_string)));

//addition begins:
$extract_content = substr($extract_content, strpos($extract_content, " ", 0) + 1, strrpos($extract_content, " ") - strpos($extract_content, " ", 0));
//addition ends

$extract .= ' ...'.phpdigHighlight($reg_strings,$extract_content).'... ';

This is in the search_function.php file only. As it works at the point of result output, I don't _think_ I need to change anything else?

(I've increased snippet length to help with the context, but knowing this particular client I doubt they'll be happy anyway! *shrugs)

Hope this is of use to someone. I guess that wrapping the line in an if statement and adding a config flag could allow this to be easily turn on and offable if it's a useful enough option...
