Title: Change highlighting plugin to split search terms by non-alphanumeric instead of just space

The search algorithm I'm using, of course, throws out all punctuation.. so I found it a bit odd that the only thing being highlighted on my app was half way down the page. Adding this regex certainly shows the user a more clear picture of their search results.
