The double quotes are in $search, that's why. And the stripslashes is there
more than likely because of magic_quotes_gpc, which will make $search equal
to \"ready maria\"

What if you do it this way?

$search = '"ready maria"';
$sql = "SELECT id,AU,ST,BT,AT FROM $table WHERE MATCH
(TNum,YR,AU,ST,SD,BT,BC,AT,PL,PR,PG,LG,AUS,KW,GEO,AN,RB,CO)
AGAINST ('".$search."' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ORDER
BY id asc";

Does that work?

Are you sure the quotes you enter in the box aren't being converted to
" or %XX or something, and then causing your query to fail or return
odd results?
