no, field varchar

Make sure you have enabled “Highlight” for the new table, see the topic Table Setup in the help file.

thanks for the answers.I’ve done all…created new db
created 1 table with 1 text field onlyenabled highlightsdoes not work.

thanks, but i use trial version for test.whit 2019 version hilight function

I’ve just tested with demo project file using v2020.0.4, and it works properly.

Please try it by yourself as follows:

  1. Enable “Highlight” option from “Table” setup for “suppliers” table,
  2. Regenerate ALL the script files,
  3. Run the generated web app from browser,
  4. Enter “murphy” (without double quotes) in text search in Quick search pane and then hit “Search” button,
  5. The search result will display the record with “Regina Murphy” in “Contact Name” column, and the “Murphy” word will be highlighted properly.

yeah so i hate bumping threads but something definitely is off with the highlight. the demo project for whatever mysteriously it works but just like the op said, if you simply create another table in the demo project and enable the highlight it does not work on that new table. in addition with any other project it doesn’t work. new project → new db → single table → insert couple of rows → enable highlight → not working.

Make sure you test with some normal string fields (not lookup fields) and they are selected to show in the List page.
