I'm using WWF version 7.9.
I have a special forum, in which each thread represents a song (by Depeche Mode), so users can comment it.

Each threads starts with, something like:

Songwriter: http://archives.depechemode.com/biography/index.html - Martin
Singer: http://archives.depechemode.com/biography/index.html - Dave

Problem is, it is impossible to search for all songs in which Martin is the singer, because:

* If I use "All Words", all songs come up (because MARTIN appears as SONGWRITER in most of them)
* If I use "Phrase", looking for "Singer: Martin", nothing comes up... (because MARTIN is styled as BOLD and is also a HYPERLINK).

I think the search procedure should be somehow modified to "strip" formatting and hyperlinks before searching.... Or is there another solution?

Thanks in advance.
