Ok, I guess my original reply didn't get through, or you ignored it.
Here it is again for your convenience.

Ok, this is what the compiler will see...
$searchQuery=str_replace("^Array$", " ", $searchQuery);
Yes, that's a literal Array in the string. You cannot, and you should
remember this, you cannot concatenate strings and arrays. What would you
expect it to do?
Now, the answer is this...
$searchQuery = str_replace($noiseArray, ' ', $searchQuery);
However, what you seem to be doing is putting regex syntax where it
would have no effect even if $noiseArray was not an array. If your
intention is to replace the words rather than just the strings then you
need to look at preg_replace (http://php.net/preg_replace) and you'll
need to decorate the strings in $noiseArray with the appropriate
characters to make them the search pattern you need - full details on
the preg_replace manual page.
