    Possible bug when a colon is inserted in search box.

    Hi, I found an issue when a user inserts a colon : into the searchbox. The user receives:

    Error loading Partial View script (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/ezSearch.cshtml)

    "special characters" are known to make examine/lucene queries go a bit AWOL.

    Just have a simple function which weeds out the potential special characters (perhaps using a reg ex expression). before passing the text through ezSearch.

    A clue, would be to update this function :-)

        // Cleanse the search term
public string CleanseSearchTerm(string input)
{
    return Umbraco.StripHtml(input).ToString();
}

    Ok, thanks. I will check this out to see if I can prevent it from going AWOL :)

    Hi,

    I wasn't able to figure it out. What can I add there to prevent search queries from breaking things when special characters are added?
