ChatZilla source viewer update

I created my highlighted view of the ChatZilla source back in June. Then I basically got bored and left it to get old.

Not being able to search has been annoying me, so I finally got back to coding. I'm currently testing the "raw" view and search features, but I haven't added any UI yet. Here's how to get to them:

• Raw view: add "?raw" to a file address, eg. http://chatzilla.rdmsoft.com/trunk/js/lib/utils.js?raw.
• Fulltext search: add ?search=query to any folder or file URL, eg. http://chatzilla.rdmsoft.com/trunk/?search=geturlspec.
• Whole word search: add &word to a search URL, eg. http://chatzilla.rdmsoft.com/trunk/?search=nsifile&word.
• More results: Some searches, eg. var, produce lots of results. When this happens, I limit the number of results shown to avoid overloading the server. "Search incomplete" is shown and a link is provided to the next page of results.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It's the first indexing/search script I've done, and it's probably wildly inefficient, but never mind...
