# Highlight Transform service
Adds HTML to a string to highlight chosen sections.
## Methods
- `highlight(text: string, search: string, wrapperClass: string = 'highlight'): HightlightTransformResult`
Searches for `search` string(s) within `text` and highlights all occurrences.
- `text` - Text to search within
- `search` - Text pattern to search for
- `wrapperClass` - CSS class used to provide highlighting style
## Details
A typical use case for this service is to display the results from a search engine.
An excerpt of a retrieved document can be shown with the matching search terms
highlighted to indicate where they were found.
The service works by adding HTML <span> elements around all sections of text
that match the `search` string. You can specify multiple search strings at once by
separating them with spaces, so passing "Apple Banana Cherry" in `search` will
highlight any of those words individually. The <span> element includes a
`class` attribute which defaults to "highlight" but you can pass any class name
you like using the `wrapperClass` parameter.
The resulting text with HTML highlighting is returned within a `HightlightTransformResult`
object:
```ts
interface HightlightTransformResult {
text: string;
changed: boolean;
}
```
The `changed` flag will be false if the search string was not found (ie, no highlighting
took place) and true otherwise.
