Search returns no results when track title includes a colon

[SHxKM]

Issue found on September 27th 2018.

Endpoint(s):

• GET /v1/search

Scope(s):

• None (application is not using authentication)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the API Console
2. Call the search endpoint with q The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits! (spotify link)

Expected behaviour:

The above release appears in the JSON response.

Actual behaviour:

The response is:

{
  "albums": {
    "href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=The+Best+of+Pantera%3A+Far+Beyond+the+Great+Southern+Cowboys%27+Vulgar+Hits%21+&type=album&market=US&offset=0&limit=50",
    "items": [],
    "limit": 50,
    "next": null,
    "offset": 0,
    "previous": null,
    "total": 0
  }
}

Even if the title is truncated further, the release doesn't show up. It doesn't even show up in search on the website..it seems that the colon is culprit:

(The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits! )

Hey @arirawr! I've just encountered this issue with another track: re:stacks by Bon Iver. I'm not sure if it's the same exact thing as this issue, but I just can't create a search that will return this track at all (other tracks are returned, but only covers and remixes that are all named differently: "Re: Stacks").

I've been trying it here: https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-search-item/?q=re%3Astacks&type=track&market=&limit=&offset=

Let me know if I should create a new issue for this 🙂thanks!
