Search Replace with ampersand & causes error #41

Closed inception-websites closed 5 years ago

inception-websites commented 6 years ago

When searching for something with the "&" symbol in the title, the replace glitches and only replaces with text before the &.

I ran into this too, except I didn't find out if the replace was glitching; instead I discovered even doing a dry run would refresh the page and the Search text would come back with the ampersand character missing, and the text after it missing too. I lost confidence in the tool to do the job at this point.

This has been fixed with BSR 1.3.3
