Breaking search functionality

If you search using the string 'or' in this forum, the search breaks.
 
This does the same thing in my app, except that I store the search string in a sessionScope variable, so the app breaks until the user logs out and back in as the 'or' is in the search criteria.
 
Does anyone have all the elements that should be searched and replaced to ensure the search works and does not get broken by things like this?  Does this code already exist somewhere?

Re: Breaking search functionality
The reason that searching for "or" is breaking is because its a keyword, similar to an SQL query you can use "and", "or", "not" to search for values. so when your typing "or" its looking for "<value1> or <value2>"
 
you can fix this by escaping"or" to "\or".
 
I don't have a list of them to hand, I'm sure its on google somewhere.
