Same thing.  In fact, before I made the minor changes neither function worked at
all.  It works fine if you using kfm as a file manager.  Also, I have looked at the
documentation for the "select (...)" member function in KHTMLView which states that
invoking this method with the given QRegExp allows you to select the text expressed
by it.  On a side note, if you use the "Find in Page ..." command the selection
feature works based on what you want to find.  I tried to you the same member
function "findTextBegin()", "findTextNext (...) and "findTextEnd()" to see if I can
fool it to make the required selection, no luck.  It still refuses to select the
whole thing and only highlights all the hyperlinks in the page.
