[FIXED] search module and component issue. importante pls check

[cosmoarg]

hi pals!
I know that this topic should go in security forum, but It's important, and likekly ever joomla dev reads this forums.
There is a problem whit the search component. If you for example write this string "a a a a a a a a  a" will you get a lot of html code and probably your db will crash.
I have fixed with php and js validation. If smb needs helkp pls, ask me and I'll give a hand

I confirmed that I get the following in 1.0.12:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 526123008) (tried to allocate 780167260 bytes) in /home/kiwanisw/public_html/components/com_search/search.php on line 178
