Matching title is not highlighted in the search results

[hakanara]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Activate the search content plugin and search a word that is found in one of the titles of an article.

Expected result

1. The search phrase that matches the word in the content or the article title should be highlighted.
2. If the word in the title matches, that should be displayed above the other results where the match is within the content. (this is generally what we are used to see from Google search results.)

Actual result

1. Matching word in the title is not highlighted but only the matching content is.
2. Articles are ordered according to the article id but not according to the matching titles first and then the matching content.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.6.2

Additional comments

Keep up the good work you all Joomla loverz :-)

Matching word in the title is not highlighted but only the matching content is.

confirmed

Articles are ordered according to the article id but not according to the matching titles first and then the matching content.

Not confirmed - they are first ordered by title - if you enable debug in the global configuration it will show the queries being performed and you will see this.

Hi @brianteeman. I respect very much your time and efforts for Joomla. I have been following ytou for a very long time. So, I would like to thank you once more.

For the part that you do not confirm, I tested it with my running web site one more time. I can still confirm it.
I have also set up a fresh Joomla installation with test data (Teaching Joomla in English). After setting it up, I have searched the Word Joomla in the search box.

Here is the order of the search results:

1. Templates
2. Protostar
3. Plugins
4. Park Blog
5. Navigation Modules
6. Modules
7. Languages
8. Joomla!
9. Extensions

As you see the article with Joomla is not ranking 1 but 8.
I am talking about "search content plugin" which is available on this test site by default.

Strange - I just retested and can confirm

OK I can see what is happening. All the results are being ordered by the title which is why in your example the article with a title of Joomla is not the first article. So it looks like the group clause is not correct

Not saying I know how to resolve it - just that I now understand what the
issue is

Made a PR for the highlighting part. The ordering appears fairly complex, so I will leave open for now. Maybe worth opening a separate issue just for the ordering.

I have opened another issue #17361 about the ordering so you can close this issue. Thank you very much for the highlighting part.
