Nice piece of code there, keesiemeijer, that did the trick.
Thanks a lot!

@reuben, yeah, I had that same idea, but I’m using some bg already there and it would be quite a mess. Thanks for the tip anyway.

Ok, I solved the first one.

I put the the opening quote in span tags with a ‘quote’ class, and then style the first paragraph in the content thus:
span.quote + p { display:inline };

Same trick won’t do for the closing quote, though; still brainstorming it.

Right, that sounds pretty reasonable, Mark. Easy enough ??
Thanks!

You are absolutely right, thanks a ton.
I was passing the value to the URL through an anchor rather than a post form, and the href was obviously badly coded.
Still having problems with the query, though, but I think that’s another problem altogether.
Thanks about the echo tip as well!

More info:
I found that search results don’t work in my custom search.php; I believe that search relies on $_POST and $_GET, so this should be related.

But, I also found that search does work on the original starkers theme search.php so now I’m thinking that the problem might be in my custom loop.
My loop makes queries through some query_posts() functions, which have been troublesome in the past; I’ll have a look at it.
