Description

The full-text search will show results including a search in the text. Is ist possible, that it jumps and highlights the phrase in the document when I click on the result?

  1. Search for a text in the search bar, let's say "foo"
  2. The results panel lists about five entries.
  3. I click on an entry (let's say a pdf or a text document)
  4. It opens the entry in the browser via the pdf reader or collabora
  5. It jumps to the page where "foo" was found and highlights it. (Or it opens the search panel in the document and displays the results in there)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the search bar builds entries in the results panel and how a clicked PDF or text document is opened through the browser, PDF reader, or Collabora. Done means a selected result opens at the matching page or exposes the matching phrase in the document search panel.
