Search for special characters fails in 2.7.1 was created by Thomas Thrane

Hi

After opgrading to 2.7.1 searching for danish characters like æ, ø and å no longer works.
These characters are stripped and therefor theres no searchresult.

Any clues on this issue?

Thanks!

Is it safe to use?
And how do I install it?

Backup (in the highly unlikely event anything goes wrong)
Download it and install it from Joomla!'s extensions manager.

Hi,

I tried to solve it the same way, so I just download k2-master.zip and installed it, now I have 2.8.0 but the issue remains; still special characters get stripped in k2 administrator search field (at ../administrator/index.php?option=com_k2&view=items).

Please advise,
Paul

æ, ø å, Greek/ Cyrillic characters are treated differently.
Illegal characters are automatically being stripped for security reasons.
