New Version of MT-RefSearch
"MT-RefSearch (a PHP script for Movable Type + MySQL users) helps travellers from search engines by finding related content on your blog. When a searcher clicks your blog from Google, Yahoo!, or any of the other 243 supported engines, MT-RefSearch does a query on the Movable Type database and outputs links that are of interest to the traveller. Besides having numerous improvements for error correction and configuration, the latest version also includes JavaScript to highlight the search terms on the page the visitor is looking at. Be nice to your visitors and help them find the content they are looking for."
Very Nice Job.

Hi, pardon this unrelated comment I'm just testing "SmartyPants" - making sure I installed it 'right'. And testing linebreaks.4. December 15, 2002 12:25 AM

nate's right about the uncredit.. i fixed that when Kryogenix brought it to my attention. James, yeah, it would be completely possible to disable searchii. just go down and look for the first reference to "Output_Javascript();" and comment out that entire if block.5. April 22, 2006 05:55 PM

At first, Kryogenix didn’t get the credit he should have gotten (searchii was folded into MT-RefSearch to make it highlightable, but it looks like that’s already been repaired. We are still using a combo of the older version of MT-Refsearch and Textism’s Google Hi-Lite. Hi-Lite has the advantage of using php rather than javascript, so there are no end user browser requirements (besides css to see the highlight). But the other new features of MT-RefSearch might be reason enough to switch to the single system.
