Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is there a way to make django-
haystack's {% highlight %} template tag show the full variable
passed in, rather than removing everything before the first
match?  I'm using it like this:  {% highlight thread.title with
request.GET.q %} share|improve this question add comment  1
Answer  i've never used haystack, but from a quick look in the
docs and the source it looks like you can make your own custom
highlighter and tell haystack to use that instead  from
haystack.utils import Highlighter from django.utils.html import
strip_tags  class MyHighlighter(Highlighter):     def
highlight(self, text_block):         self.text_block =
strip_tags(text_block)         highlight_locations =
self.find_highlightable_words()         start_offset, end_offset
= self.find_window(highlight_locations)          # this is my
only edit here, but you'll have to experiment
start_offset = 0         return
self.render_html(highlight_locations, start_offset, end_offset)
and then set  HAYSTACK_CUSTOM_HIGHL
