This doesn't need to check if the text is a link.  The problem I was 
having with links before was that I had <a> tags in the htmlText that 
had text in them e.g. <a href=name=bob>My Name</a>.  Doing a search for 
bob in the htmlText would find bob in the <a> tag which I didn't want.  
The code I'm using now searches the plain text so there isn't a problem 
of getting results from the <a> tag.  Make sense?
