[Bug 203033] [NEW] html not escaped in search

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Thorsten Sick (modern-ronin):

Binary package hint: meld

html is not properly escaped in the find dialog, causing it not to
correctly report the results of a failed search. If the search term is
valid html, it will be rendered, if not, the search query will be
wrapped with additional html display tags.

The bug can be reproduced by searching any document for an ampersand
'&gibberish' or <span size="smaller">a</span><span
size="larger">b</span>
