Escaping of regex special chars does not work properly #10

Closed thanosp closed 12 years ago

thanosp commented 12 years ago

All regular expression special characters within terms are being replaced with the string '$1' because there are no parentheses to form a match.

For example autocompleting "test+" will never show "test+test" as a match as it's being replaced with "test\$1".

I guess closing a pull request doesn't close the issue.
