Default Search Bug

This is nothing serious, but FYI I found something weird when you search.

When one of the search results contains a < or a > in the topic, it will print &lt; &gt; etc.

This is even less important, but I might as well post it while I'm posting. This problem also occurs to your signature when you preview a post. For example, whenever I preview mine it shows up as &lt;&gt;&lt;

Just an FYI,

Snib

I believe that's preventing malicious code from being passed to the server.

I've been thinking about this, and I think the characters are being escaped twice or something.

stu9820,

What you say made sense when I read it, but then I rememberd that any < or > in a topic is displayed normally outside of search. Please tell me if I'm skimming over something.

Anyway, like I said, it's really nothing that urgently needs fixed.

Thanks,

Snib
