Peggy emailed me about a problem I was having on this site with the Google Hi-Lite plugin that’s included with 1.2. She did all the searching to find the fix the problem (which was posted on huddledmasses.org here ) (So all credit for finding this goes to her) Certain searches (I think ones that contain a backslash - you know how WP eats these for breakfast) will cause errors on the page.

Here’s what you need to do to fix it. Look for these lines (should be Orig lines 104, 105, 106, 107)

if (!preg_match(’/<.+>/’,$text)) {
$text = preg_replace(’/(b’.$term.’b)/i’,'<span
class=”hilite”>$1</span>’,$text);
} else {
$text = preg_replace(’/(?<=>)([^<]+)?(b’.$term.’b)/i’,'$1<span
class=”hilite”>$2</span>’,$text);

Change those lines to this:

if (!preg_match(’«<.+>«’,$text)) {
$text = preg_replace(’«(b’.$term.’b)«i’,'<span
class=”hilite”>$1</span>’,$text);
} else {
$text = preg_replace(’«(?<=>)([^<]+)?(b’.$term.’b)«i’,'$1<span
class=”hilite”>$2</span>’,$text);
