Module development and code questions

I am having an issue with both custom modules and the standard, out of the box modules where whenever a user selects the "preview" option on the create content screen the message "your was created" is displayed and an empty node is created in the databse. I had hoped that upgrading from 4.7.1 to 4.7.2 would fix this error, but no such luck. If anybody knows anything about this kind of problem or needs to see some code to help let me know. Thanks for all your help.

I've started working on my first module, so be gentle. Actually, it's a modification of the swish.module, where I am attempting to bring back highlighted hits. I believe anyone who has been able to bring back results in a search, regardless of the module, will be able to answer this.

Basically, I've put in a hook that takes the search request and does a socket call to a site that is returning html code. That html is coded to display the highligted hits. The problem is that what is displayed on the Drupal page is the html source code, and I want the html processed and displayed as laid out in the code. How do I accomplish this?

The code in question is here:

/**
* Overrides the _search_item hook.
* Returns a nice html output of each found item.
*/
function swishpdf_search_item($item){
global $base_url;
$output = $item['title'];
return $output;
}

$output should be displayed like this:

I have a question about how to have a module correctly handle HTML and RSS teasers. I can't find the answer anywhere, and lots of modules seem to get it wrong, so it seemed like a good idea to iron it out!

I'm using Drupal 4.7 and I was wanting to know if there is a script that will pull snippets for each page that you use? For example, I'm using path auto.

For ex:

Say I have created a PAGE with the short url path 'Bio', and another PAGE with the short url name of 'Guests,' and I wanted a teaser for each of the pages on the main page. Is there a way I can do that?

If not, does anyone know how I can just do snippets in general? The listhilightnodes script that I used for version 4.6 doesn't work for 4.7. Thanks!

Has anyone used the job search module http://drupal.org/node/27586/release ? Any demonstration sites that are up? Do the patches work for all versions of drupal - I am running 4.6.5

Thanks in advance!
