in thread Regex: Matching around a word(s)

Nice++
Again, much appreciated. Originally, I wasn't thinking it quite through. I was just thinking I could grab excerpts around matches and highlight them. Then seeing the results, I decided it needed to merge overlapping excerpts into one. That regex is damn close though. If that was the first thing you posted, I would have been done right there :)

With the sample data we've been looking at, it's quite easy to get the whole text. The real page results are rather long and it's unlikely that you'd get the whole page and many stop words aren't indexed. Though I'll probably add a limit that either truncates the results if the excerpt is too big or something along that lines.

I found it an interesting (and consuming) excercise myself.
