           Summary: OPAC locks up browser when browsing items from series
                    link with NoveList and OpacHighlightedWords

I have confirmed this issue reported by one of our partners:

I made a screencast of the problem. We just started a NoveList subscription,
I'm not sure if it's our scripts conflicting with theirs. I can replicate the
problem in the Los Gatos catalog (they also use NoveList). I tried to replicate
on non-NoveList OPACs like NEXpress and Plum Creek but the series searching
keeps giving me 404s and empty searches.

Screencast: http://screencast.com/t/TLV0G4xfgPN

To replicate:
Search a title with a series (i.e. The Hunger Games)
Click into the record
Click on the series to search it
Click on a title in the search results
If Firefox doesn't crash, it gives the unresponsive script message (seen in the
screencast)

Setting OpacHighlightedWords to Don't Highlight fixes the problem. We may go
this route but I wanted to make you aware of the problem.

It appears that an empty string is sneaking into the list of words to highlight
and that is causing the browser to freak out.
