This one's for Martin (I should probably post this on another list - sorry).

When I do a Google search for "Business Sculptors" (no quotes when you enter into Google's input) I get an URL http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=vfu&q=business+sculptors&btnG=Search&meta=

Searching for "Business Sculptor" yields http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=vfu&q=business+sculptor&btnG=Search&meta=

Note there is only an "s" difference in the URLs. Also the URL is dependent on browser+version and OS of course.

When I follow the results Plone highlights "Business Sculptors" and "Business Sculptor" respectively. It seems there is some Javascript in Plone the inspects the referer's querystring and does a split on "q=" and applies the highlight.

The split is not smart (try appending &aq=e to the Google URL and paste into the browser, then follow the new result).

I suppose it won't be hard to track this down, but nevertheless it is interesting enough to post.

BTW this is Plone 2.5.x (I believe 2.5.3).
