Describe the bug

When searching with a single quote, the payload sent to the search engine doesn't handle it as a special character, so the search does not work.

How to Reproduce

  1. Touch the Android Widget:
  2. Enter a search string with a single vertical quote '
  3. Touch Return.

Expected behavior

Before sending the search string, HTTP special characters should be replaced with the appropriate ASCII coding. (e.g. %27)

Environment
