Search Broken for queries containing '$'

Scala · 01-14-2013, 01:12 PM

Searching for "curren$y" breaks the site.

The proper search is "currensy", so the '$' character is the culprit (and maybe others). It seems sputnik isn't stripping out all invalid characters from the search query before processing it.

Use an incomplete search term. So for this use 'curren' and then, if required, ctrl+f. Basically anything that isn't A-Z, 0-9 won't search.
