Bug #2069

allow "complex terms" to be searched for in metasearch

Description
need to allow searches for "acer saccharum". My suggestion: add white space
before and after each set of terms and search for " acer saccharum ", thus
avoiding "pseudoacer saccharum" being returned.
step 1: add white space around "the keywords" of an entity:
--add SQL: UPDATE keywords SET keywords = ' ' || keywords || ' ' WHERE keywords
NOT LIKE ' %' AND keywords IS NOT NULL;
step 2: parse string differently if " is passed. This is handled in .js ?
done on aldo. Pending final java once-over by pmark. checked into cvs. Works
great. xwhereMatchWholeWords added to allow just whole words using regExp
:<: and :>: for beginning and end of word. "anything in quotes" is
recognized as one word.
