List Filtering: Highlighting Partial Matches in Search Results

Just a quick update: users of FilterZen, the ultimate Filter Web Part for SharePoint 2010 and 2007, can now greatly improve the end-user usability with a simple check-box option we just newly introduced: highlighting of filter values (ie. search phrases) in the connected consumer List View "search results":

The highlighting needs to be explicitly enabled in the FilterZen Web Part settings tool-pane (in the Interactive Filters section, see above-right screenshot) and of course you can fully re-style and customize this using CSS: simply use the span.rox-hilitematch selector.

Is-it working with wss 3.0 ?
I am using a Text filter on the column Name (contains), with CAML, with check box of Highligthing and I don't see any highlight.
Do I need a special configuration?

This used to work in the old outdated SharePoint versions -- we received another bug report that this doesn't work in MOSS 2007 either and are currently looking into it.

I am facing the same problem here. SP 2007 and highlighting don't work together. Any update on this?

Fixed in build 3.8.0.51.
