search result in a section

Yes, see here for instructions on how to make the page scroll to the first search result. In general the browser in-page search is the best solution, though.

thx
If I understood correctly, tou are saying that either we use javascript code or the function wp_enqueue_script(), right?

the JavaScript code should be on my page? on each page?
and wp_enqueue_script()? where i should write it?

thank you in advance

The Javascript code needs to appear in the single post page. There are many ways to get it in there, but the best way is to put the code in a separate file inside your theme and then use wp_enqueue_script() in your theme functions.php to load the script. This would load the file /js/example.js inside your theme folder:

function wpdocs_theme_name_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'script-name', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/example.js', array(), '1.0.0', true );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_theme_name_scripts' );

first i tried to put the js code on the page, i have this error :
Uncaught ReferenceError: getParams is not defined

after i integrated the javascript code in the header of every page i see that it doesn’t work, i mean from my result page if i open the page it doesn’t scroll down automatically.

do you think because of incompatibility of javascript and arabic text?
i think so, because the function in the javascript which read the url return text like https://arabiccatholicbible.com/project/luke/?highlight=%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%AF instead of the real word in arabic.

is there a workaround?

oh yes it works!
the answer is that we have to use the decodeURIComponent if we have arabic text in the url:

replace the line
window.location.href.replace( location.hash, ” ).replace(
by
decodeURIComponent(window.location.href).replace( location.hash, ” ).replace(

hope it will be useful for the others
thx
