function search_expression_insert in Drupal 7

Adds a module-specific search option to a search expression.

Search options are added using search_expression_insert(), and retrieved using search_expression_extract(). They take the form option:value, and are added to the ordinary keywords in the search expression.

Parameters

$expression: The search expression to add to.

$option: The name of the option to add to the search expression.

$value: The value to add for the option. If present, it will replace any previous value added for the option. Cannot contain any spaces or | characters, as these are used as delimiters. If you want to add a blank value $option: to the search expression, pass in an empty string or a string that is composed of only spaces. To clear a previously-stored option without adding a replacement, pass in NULL for $value or omit.

Return value

$expression, with any previous value for this option removed, and a new $option:$value pair added if $value was provided.
