Commit summary:

Fix a regression in search highlighting from r90092

Followup on r94609, r94681 test cases.
This fixes the test case with a period that was failing; problem was not the 
period, but the space before.
The changed regex in r90092 ended up including the preceding whitespace in the 
match, so the position of the match was coming up one character before the 
actual word -- thus offsetting the highlight by one char.

Changed from search to match, using the regex's index property (same as search 
returns) and adding in the length of the first match component which covers the 
space/whatever

Comment:

Well now we're getting into the ultimate problem: this highlighter code doesn't 
necessarily know anything about how the matches are being made by the search 
engine.

Do multiple words/symbols/tokens need to appear in the same order? Not 
according to what jquery.highlight does, since it breaks them into separate 
tokens and looks for them individually.

The default opensearch prefix search implementation does raw prefix matches 
only, so would not tend to match something like that -- what you get out of 
Lucene / MWSearch might be different.
