PHP printing search keywords

Question

I have a PHP security question. As I am creating a PHP Webproject, I need to implement a website search and I am a little concerned about it's security. A while ago, I slightly remember hearing something about, that printing the keywords searched by the user (somewhere on the page), might cause that the website could get hacked. Do any of you guys know anything about that?

Thanks for all the answers.

BTW: I already thought of getting rid of all eventually inserted HTML tags.
