Ok, Dan,
the matching of a specified pattern now it seems working. Maybe the variables
didn't post the right string to htsearch. I saw that the pattern doesn't have
to contain fullstops or other stuff like these. It works great just with words.
Anyway there's a bug that seems not going away: when you click on a new result
page, the spaces, the quotes and other special chars in the search field will
be converted as %20, %22, etc. etc..
You made a very good work with this wrapper. I studied the code and it's great.
