Topic: Jump to First hit

With the metamorph API is it possible to Jump to the first hit and display only the Hit and surrounding texts? I have a table with a blob field. I would like to do a query on that field for a keyword and display only the first hit and it's surrouding text. Thanks in advance.

The metamorph API just finds hits in the text for you. How they're presented is entirely up to you. In html you would surround the hit with <a name="hit1"> and </a>, then in the link to the page with markup you would use hit1 as the anchor, eg http://.../display.html#hit1 .

In vortex you would just use <fmt "%mH" ...> or similar to do the markup.
