+/**
+ * @summary     SearchHighlight
+ * @description Search term highlighter for DataTables

+ *
+ * This feature plug-in for DataTables will highlight search terms in the
+ * DataTable as they are entered into the main search input element, or via the
+ * `search()` API method.
+ *
+ * It depends upon the jQuery Highlight plug-in by Bartek Szopka:
+ * 	  http://bartaz.github.io/sandbox.js/jquery.highlight.js
+ *
+ * Search highlighting in DataTables can be enabled by:
+ *
+ * * Adding the class `searchHighlight` to the HTML table
+ * * Setting the `searchHighlight` parameter in the DataTables initialisation to
+ *   be true
+ * * Setting the `searchHighlight` parameter to be true in the DataTables
+ *   defaults (thus causing all tables to have this feature) - i.e.
+ *   `$.fn.dataTable.defaults.searchHighlight = true`.
+ *
+ * For more detailed information please see:
+ *     http://datatables.net/blog/2014-10-22
