AjaxSearch Highlighting is Ruining my Snippet

I wrote my first snippet for modx that inserts a SWFObject for JW Player (An FLV Video Player) but the AjaxSearch Highlighting is inserting code into the code that my snippet is rendering.

Here is what it’s doing:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var so = new SWFObject("http://www.wernermn.com/assets/videos/player.swf","mpl","470","550","9");
  so.addVariable("playlistfile","http://www.wernermn.com/assets/videos/playlists/<span class="ajaxSearch_highlight ajaxSearch_highlight1">eaton</span>.xml");
  so.addVariable("playlist","bottom");
  so.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
  so.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
  so.addParam("wmode","opaque");
  so.addVariable("backcolor","dedede");
  so.addVariable("frontcolor","004b8d");
  so.addVariable("lightcolor","555555");
  so.addVariable("screencolor","000000");
  so.addVariable("autostart","true");
  so.addVariable("repeat","list");
  so.write("mediaspace");
</script>

You can see on Line #3 the code that it’s inserting into my snippet. Is there any way to protect my snippet from being mis-rendered by other snippets? Thanks!

I suppose that this issue comes from after searching the term eaton? Is it true ?

Not sure that is it the solution but ... With ajaxSearch you have 2 highlighting plugins.

- the classical plugin.searchHighlight.tpl
- and the advanced plugin.advSearchHighlight.tpl.

With the classical, you search the terms to highlight between <body> and </body>.

With the advanced, you define tags  and  to frame a piece of text to highlight. You could define as many pairs of tags you want. So you probably could set:
```
<body>

...

</body> 
```
in your template.

And in your snippet code.
```


You snippet

Try it. I haven’t tested it but this shoud work it.
