I'm consistently getting an error with the following steps:

1) Search string: item
    Scope: Toolbox project (from XSource)
    Whole word checked
2) After the search,  click Filter
3) On Code page of Filter Builder, specify:
    =
   Within Same Statement
4) Click Apply

Observed: Error

The Code View is also messed up in this case:

Notes: Whether you click Yes or No, the error appears twice and it recurs when you navigate among results. The issue seems to be specifically with filtering on the equal sign. I'm guessing it's an issue in parsing the XML.

In the browser window, GF highlights ALL matches to the search string, not simply the one corresponding to the current row in the grid.

This works fine if you don't use wildcards or grep.

However -- if your search string includes any "special" characters (which I will not try to define), the HTML goes bad.  Clearly, an equal sign is one of the special characters, and I know there are others.

The solution would be to identify what those special characters might be and then ignore highlighting if used.  I can't say I've ever explored that part of Matt's code.
