Javascript error with UTF-8 (Arabic) search

  • The on-page search works perfectly on English pages on the sites I manage; however, on Arabic pages it fails with the following console error:

    codepeople_shearch_in_place.min.js?ver=1.1.4:25 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'splitText' on 'Text': The offset 169 is larger than the Text node's length.

    Generally speaking, it gives this error for words greater than 2 characters with varying offset values. Longer words will work if they only appear once on the page. For example:

    • This works: ?? ?? (two words of 2 characters)
    • But this does not: ??? (3 letters)
    • However, this does: ?????? (appears once)

    Example pages:

    https://hcp.adhd.org.sa/ar/??????-??????-??????-????????-??-????/

    https://cpg.adhd.org.sa/ar/????????/

    Thanks!

    Hello, and thanks for your immediate reply!

    The updated plugin no longer causes an error, and searching works correctly; however, there remains a minor issue wherein the highlighting is sometimes (unpredictably) offset by a few characters.

    Here’s an example screenshot:
