The 'pg_search_multiple_highlight' gem extends the functionality of the popular 'pg_search' gem to overcome its limitation when performing searches against multiple columns and attempting to highlight results. The core issue arises when using the ':highlight' option within the ':tsearch' scope on multiple columns. This gem addresses this limitation by introducing the ':multiple_highlight' option, offering a comprehensive solution for highlighting results across multiple columns. Key Features: New Scope Option: The gem introduces the ':multiple_highlight' scope option, allowing users to perform searches on multiple columns and highlight matching terms. Enhanced Search Results: The gem enables the extraction of highlighted results from multiple columns, providing a unified view of highlighted content. Usage Convenience: Users can easily integrate the ':multiple_highlight' option into their existing 'pg_search' queries by calling the '.with_pg_search_multiple_highlight' method on the search object. Flexible Customization: The gem's options can be tailored to match specific highlighting requirements, such as custom start and stop markers for highlighting. Comprehensive Documentation: The README file explains the limitations of 'pg_search' regarding highlighting, demonstrates how the ':multiple_highlight' option resolves this issue, and offers clear usage examples for quick integration.
