 * I have a couple of problems with my search page:
    1. The layout breaks (and an
   error message appears at the top)of the results page when searching for a word
   or phrase that occurs right at the start of a longish (sorry for not being able
   to be more specific about the length) post title that appears as the most relevant
   result. For example, [http://djsilkworm.com/?s=poll](http://djsilkworm.com/?s=poll)
   [http://djsilkworm.com/?s=six+outstanding](http://djsilkworm.com/?s=six+outstanding)
   2. Non alphabetical characters aren’t handled very well: [http://djsilkworm.com/?s=%26amp;dubstep](http://djsilkworm.com/?s=%26amp;dubstep)
 * My search.php is at [http://codepad.org/GnxkvUsF](http://codepad.org/GnxkvUsF)
   if you want to have a look.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Hi, how did you resolved the issue?
 * I am having something very similar happening at my site – the items have embedded
   JS and the search results are messed up…
 * Thx.
