Details

I was searching for the string "Loading…" with an ellipsis character '…' (Option+; keyboard shortcut on Mac) and searchfox returns a blank results page. I get a blank results page for almost any fancy character query, such as 'æ' (Option+') or 'ø' (Option+o). https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=%E2%80%A6&case=true&path= https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=æ https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=%C3%B8 This bug looks like a regression because a similar bug was fixed in bug 1282118.
