在找到的页面上突出显示搜索词

Question

I am using a Google Custom Search Engine ( link and API ) to provide a site search for my website. For now I have a poorly styled <gcse:searchbox-only> on my main site; this pops open the results. (At some point I'd like to use the <gcse:searchresults-only> on a separate page.

However, because some of the pages shown in the result list are rather lengthy, I wonder if there is a way to click on a search result link and highlight the matching text on the target page? I don't want to highlight the search terms on the result list, but rather on the target page a user selects from the Google result list.

How would I go about this?

EDIT: Here is an example of what I mean. Use Google to search for "man strcpy" ( click ) and the first search result should be at linux.die.net. When I click on that link, it'll take me to the website and highlight both "man" and "strcpy" on that target page. Is works when using Google, Bing, Yahoo.

From a quick scan of the docs I see that you can use either the data-queryParameterName or queryParameterName , with the value 'search' to pass the search term/phrase to your results page. You could then get the query string and pass it along.

Once the user clicks from the results list to the intended page, you'd have the query available and could highlight the results.
