Module development and code questions

What is the easiest or best way to modify Drupal's built-in search capabilites to make searches take new profile fields into account?

If anyone could shed light on that I would be grateful. Does it involve perhaps writing a new search module to extend the built-in mod? Does it involve using the hook hook_form_alter in order to alter the default search form?

I want to restrict access to blogs to the individual users that own them. Currently, any blog content is visible publicly. I am somewhat surprised that there is not any sort of access control built into the blog module, but I am trying to get around this by modifying it to meet my needs.

I tried modifying the hook_access function in the following way...

Hello,

as above, some recipients of the RSVP invites get mangled gibberish. Some get half gibberish. And some don't have any problems at all.

Does not seem to matter what client they're using - M$ OE, full Outlook, Horde, Thunderbird, etc.... some webmail users get garbage. Some don't. Some POP or IMAP clients get perfectly fine formatted email with links. Some get garbage.

Looking in the .module itself, it seems kinda straightforward... there's a mail function, with plain text, some \n ewlines, and a few variables to call in the names of stuff. Great. I don't get what could be going wrong.

Here's a failure example (i've privatized the (client)):

This is my favorite - everything's fine until halfway through the link. Then it explodes, and just stops.

Database issue? Something else??

note: now i'm getting forwards that sign-up emails are also being mangled. Aargh...

even better. They look like this:

Hi folks,

I am tyring to theme my image.module pages nicely and I found the code within the image.module file that seems to handle this. I don't speak PHP so its difficult to experiment with the code to make the changes that I want. Basically, what I want is to format the teaser and full nodes separately, the teaser to have a right aligned image with text body wrapping around and the full body to remain as it is with a default image alignment.

The Code is as such:
