Search for Genes/Arrays with non alphabetic/numeric characters fails

[Robert Leach]

When a gene name has certain characters in it, the result is not highlighted/selected when the search button is clicked. I tested this on selecting an entire gene row for a number of genes. I'm not certain which characters are causing problems, but we should either allow any character to work or strip out characters that don't work when the data is loaded. here's an example of a name that does not work:

SAGA complex|GO|081105

My bet is on the bar character here.

I think I know how to handle this issue.

Took me awhile to get ahold of the idiosyncrasies of java regular expressions, but this is now fixed. Special characters are now compatible and the wildcards still work.
