Hello Mohd,

Have you already coded the search function?

You just need to insert HTML tags before and after the keyword.

Java Code

<strong><font color="red">JAVA</font></strong>

If you post your code here then ill see if I can help add it.

Java Code

            <c:forEach var="book1" items="${bookList}">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <c:url var="listThreadsUrl" value="BookDetailsServlet">
   <c:param name="id" value="${book1.id}"/>
  </c:url>

  <a href='<c:out value="${listThreadsUrl}"/>'>
        ${book1.title}
  </a>
            </tr> 
            </c:forEach>

the keyword forward from jsp page to servlet to perform query and finaly to other jsp page
and here display the result

my result is " book1.title "

if you search for Java
may will find "Java How to Program"

Java here should be different
