Details

Including a space character in a search doesn't work because it is URL-encoded as a +, and support for that has been commented out in lib/LXR/Common.pm:http_wash{} Including any of <>|\"\'\` in a search fails because of security code in http_wash{} that is attempting to clean anything that might be passed to open(). The right fix is probably to either parameterize http_wash{}, or split it up into two routines: one that cleans for stuff passed to open(), and one that cleans (presumably much less strictly) for stuff passed to the glimpse binary by exec().
smfr cares too, I think.
I care so much that I filed duplicate bug 13056.
