I found a bug : you add <strong> tags around the element that is searched for in the result page. To test it out I searched for "Sony" and the word sony was in the url. When I clicked on the search result I saw <strong> and </strong> tags in the url and the url was broken. Those tags should only be added to title and description, not url.
