Search Highlight Text
Live in-text search with animated background highlights for matched substrings in React applications.
Search Highlight Text preview
A focused find-in-page experience for any block of prose. As the user types into the small search input, every occurrence of the query inside the surrounding paragraph is highlighted with an animated colored span. New matches fade and slide in via Motion's AnimatePresence; stale matches fade out cleanly when the query changes — there's no jank, no full re-render flash. The input is styled to match shadcn/ui's Input primitive (border, focus ring, muted icon) and includes a small clear button that appears the moment the query is non-empty. Toggle case sensitivity, choose top or bottom placement for the input, seed it with a defaultQuery, and override the highlight tint to fit your brand. Ideal for documentation pages, FAQ sections, terms of service, knowledge bases, and any long-form content where users need to locate a phrase without scanning by eye.
