[Pmwiki-users] Search sometimes complains loudly

[Patrick R. Michaud]

I think that changing line 35 from

    preg_match('/^([-+]?)([\'"]?)(.*?)\\2$/',$t,$match);

to 

    preg_match('/^([-+]?)([\'"]?)(.+?)\\2$/',$t,$match);

ought to be a reasonable fix.  This forces the search term itself
to have at least one character, stealing it from the [-+] if necessary.
Thus

	apple -pancakes		"apple" but not "pancakes"
	apple - pancakes	"apple", "-", and "pancakes"
	apple + pancakes	"apple", "+", and "pancakes"

I have it this way on pmichaud.com at the moment, and if you concur
with the fix then it'll be in the next release.
