Problem
URL Searches are not running correctly if a search string starts with a pound-sign (#) character.
Solution
The Internet specifications for passing URLs say that a pound sign character must be encoded when passed via a URL.
Passing the value of: %23 instead of # is the equivalent of encoding the # character and should fix the problem. (The %23 character combination passes the ASCII character value for the pound sign instead of the actual character into the URL.)
For example:
- URL that will NOT pass the pound sign correctly:
http://api.com/test=1234#678
- URL that will pass the pound sign correctly:
http://api.com/test=1234%23678
