MT-RefSearch v0.7
Richy C. has released MT-RefSearch v0.7, a substantial update to the Eliot Landrum's original script released in July of this year.
MT-RefSearch (a PHP script for Movable Type + MySQL users) helps travellers from search engines by finding related content on your blog. When a searcher clicks your blog from Google, Yahoo!, or any of the other 243 supported engines, MT-RefSearch does a query on the Movable Type database and outputs links that are of interest to the traveller. Besides having numerous improvements for error correction and configuration, the latest version also includes JavaScript to highlight the search terms on the page the visitor is looking at.

That's a cool plugin. I tried something similar but it didn't work.
I was pointed to this page by Mark Pilgrim after having done a similar thing on my Blogger-powered blog using Javascript. I guess I wasn't the first to think of it :-). If anyone not using MT wants my code, just e-mail me.
