Searching Numbers

I am using the following to display search terms: getSearchWords()

I have noticed that when the term is alphabetical I don't get quotations around my word, but if the term is numerical there are quotations around my word.

Just curious why numbers and letters would return different.

Thanks,
Josh

    Can't really remember why, but certainly that is eplicitly done for numbers.

    I wanted to remove the quotation marks around the numbers in my search results...so, I did the following:

    `<?php`
    `$term = getSearchWords();`
    `echo str_replace('"', "", $term);`
    `?>`

    That's it...quotation marks removed!!

    NOTE: This will remove all quotation marks within the string, not just around the numbers, but it worked for me :)

    Just thought I'd share what I did...it might help others.

    Thanks,
    Josh
