That would work. My nature is to break the 2 into separate options--only
because I think it's confusing to novice users. But that definitely would
work.
Also, I think maybe you could fix the HTML issue by changing your function
to:
function highlight(value) {
return value.replace(new RegExp("(?<!<[^<>]*)(" + term + ")", "gi"),
"$1<strong>$2</strong>");
}
I did not test this yet. You might want to throw it at some HTML. And test
it.
There's also some other suggestions here:
