Created attachment 7997 [details] HTML character codes Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter following HTML character codes to the 'Search' text box. - & - ¢ - £ - ¥ - € - § - © - ® 2. Click on the 'Go' button. Actual results: Pages can be created with the page name as the HTML result generated from the HTML character codes. (Refer the screen shot) Expected results: System should display 'There were no results matching the query.' message.
The suggestion to create the page is not wrong. What's wrong is that the character is not encoded through htmlentities()[0] since it should present a way to create [[¢]] instead of "[[¢]]". Although this case also asks for a check to see if a title is a valid page title (since ";" is not allowed in page names) - so in this case it shouldn't ask for it to be created after all. -- Krinkle [0] The same way {{PAGENAME}} is encoded in html entities.

Note, ; is allowed, you just can't have &entity; in a page name. I think the current behaviour makes sense. if someone types abcdé into the search box, i think they should be prompted to create [[Abcdé]].
Changing all WONTFIX high priority bugs to lowest priority (no mail should be generated since I turned it off for this.)
