When searching with a facet, cleaning that facet's value was causing special characters to get escaped, which changed the value before the search was conducted. This caused existing facets like 00-04 to be used in the search as 00\\-04 and would return 0 results.
This branch adjusts the search to not sanitize facet values if the facet field has the string _exact. This way, the value's special characters don't get escaped and can be used to filter as is.
Closes #112
