Fine, use that construct.

You're just assuming that? I believe Google is counting that as one
word. Just try it yourself. I've tried it, an it seems to be true. I
also believe it's true for all other search engines.

Span is an inline element. I think search engines is removing inline
tags before indexing your site. After all you can search for sentences
with bold text inside.

The <i><span class="makepp">make</span>pp</i> construct will work just
fine.
