I did some searching "global strings" on these forums and I used the Match exact phrase option.

The search highlighting option added "&SearchTerms=global,strings" to the URLs so it highlighed the words separately.

Shouldn't it be highlighting the words together if the Match extact prhrase option is used? e.g. "&SearchTerms=global%20strings"

I had thought about that too. But the highlighter only highlights the text you search for. What search option you choose does not affect it. That would be an intelligent highlighter if you ask me.

If you can get the highlighter to highlight depending on the search criteria, that would be great. I haven't tried at it though.

Here's some code to do it:

Find line 204:
SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & chkString(strKeyWords,"search")

Replace with:
if strAndOr = "phrase" then
SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & Server.URLEncode(Request.Form("Search"))
else
SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & Server.URLEncode(strKeyWords)
end if

I believe you would need to put them through ChkString() still. To check for hazardous characters.
if strAndOr = "phrase" then
     SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & Server.URLEncode(chkString(Request.Form("Search"),"search")
else
     SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & Server.URLEncode(chkString(strKeyWords,"search")
end if
Again I haven't tried this code.

I think it would be better run the functions the other way around. It would allow " to be highlighted in search terms.
SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & chkString(Server.URLEncode(strKeyWords),"search")

I can see that, you missed a ) of the end of the lines.

using Server.URLEncode caused quite a few problems.

I changed this:

			SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & chkString(strKeyWords,"search")


to this:

			if strAndOr = "phrase" then strKeyWords = replace(strKeyWords,",","+")
			SearchLink = "&SearchTerms=" & chkString(strKeyWords,"search")


seems to work fine, and doesn't cause problems with other characters.
