Why not do something that parses the text, and put's <SPAN ...> tags
around the text, and use a stylesheet to highlight it?
The problem (that I can find) is that you are using eregi_replace(), which
is case-insensitive. You may need to do something like strpos() to find
the beginning and ends of the word, and using eregi_replace() to replace
the the spaces on either side of it with " <b>" and "</b> ".
I have a killer headache right now, otherwise I'd write some code =>
Sorry!
Good luck,
