  Hi awesome pple at WordPress!
  Am totally loving the ease of use, but I really hope the search could be much better. I’m using my blog as a depository of long journals for a group of writers and curriculum developers to pull content from.

  The current search only shows results in the format of excerpts or the first few lines of the blog. It would be great if it could be something similar to Google sites where the search word is highlighted in the context of its surrounding text.

  Also, if these plugins were available, for .com instead of just .org, it would be so great! :) http://www.incomediary.com/how-to-create-amazing-search-functions-for-your-wordpress-blog

  thanks so much!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  if something like this could be incorporated, with the search parameters only being the blog itself, including ALL the instances of the searched word being highlighted, it would be so awesome!
