 * This plugin is just what I needed. Thank you!!!! The problem I’m having is that
   the page contains a list of file names that I want to be searchable. Some of 
   the file names contain a hyphen and the search/highlight function stops as soon
   as you type in the hyphen. Is there any way to overcome this and include special
   characters?
