Hi,

i would like to display a text element (containing several lines) with the following functionnality :  
i’d like to highlight all the occurences of an expression in the text as do any search tool within a text editor.

I was planing to use some regexp remplace and inserting bbcode in remplacement before displaying.

Any other idea ?

Thanks for your help

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hey @gmaison

I am very interested in this also. A quick search online found these two plugins.

[Word Highlighter](https://bubble.io/plugin/word-highlighter-1603903094381x787506970473267200)  
[Highlight Text](https://bubble.io/plugin/highlight-text-1569067729186x167072794867662850)

Im not sure if its possible without any custom coding but I am commenting to A) show you these plugins incase you havent seen them & B) follow this. lol. 👍

EDIT: I have not tried any of these two plugins. Havent really had the need but it does sound interesting to add to search fields
