Hello,

I am having a hard time spliting a string into an array for use in a
search. Here is the situation. The user will input a search string.
Normally I can just split the string by "split /\s+/, $string".
However, I want to allow the user to put words so they appear and are
searched together ie. "search this" would be searched as one term and
not "search" and then somewhere else "this", etc. So if a user enters
something like this:

how do I "search this" and split

How do I split this into an array of:

how
do
I
search this
and
split

Thanks

Fritz
