(Must you require hover for that, though? I’d make that change unconditionally, frankly.)
Yeah, I might consider it. I do think it makes the initial pageload a lot more drab, and removes a lot of the beauty from the page (and logged-in users who haven’t read most of the posts already have much stronger text-contrast).
Note that the selectionchange event will report the currently selected hit for the searched text, not all highlighted hits, so this should not be a problem. (As the user presses Cmd-G [Find Next], or Enter in the search box, the browser will cycle through the highlighted hits, firing a new selectionchange event each time.) Thus, each time the event is fired, you can expand whatever section the currently-selected hit is in (and collapse its neighbors in the row).
Oh, that’s great, I didn’t realize that’s how it works.
I would also suggest deepening the text shadow, changing it from text-shadow: 0 0 3px #000 to, e.g., text-shadow: 0 0 3px #000, 0 0 5px #000, 0 0 8px #000, which looks like this:
Oh, this is also a pretty good idea. I had forgotten that you can do multiple text-shadows at the same time. I’ll give it a try.
