I love Mambo - been a user since Dec. 2003. Many tremendous features but, in my view, one glaring weakness - SEARCH. I find the search component lacks the following features: 1) showing the keyword bolded within text on the site, 2) weighted search results, and 3) providing separation or line of demarcation between like results (e.g., sections, categories, or weblinks). Up until now I've been using Atomz's free search instead of Mambo's search but beginning Oct. 1 Atomz decided to start listing ads. So they get paid for my visitors! I want to move to another search option and would prefer a Mambo component but I really can't give my visitors Mambo results when Atomz has done so well offering good search results.

So I ask members of this forum, has anyone come up with a better Mambo search? If not, does anyone have a hack that will: 1) display the keyword in bold within the text and/or 2) have a weighted results hack? If not, any other options besides Atomz? I've investigated adding Google’s free search (no good because it can’t be contained within a site template), looked at phpdig (never could figure out how it worked) and isearch PHP Search Engine (liked this one but it doesn’t allow for phrase searching). Thanks.
