concept search - can not find a query that gets a hit on Alzheimer's Disease

Issue #73 closed

I know the concept exists in the database as I can get to it from a search for the APOE gene, but I can not find it from the concept search area. Is this an escaping error ?

    Yes, this was a very curious and subtle HTML escaping bug. Django was introducing the ' HTML entity for the apostrophe when it injected the query string into the concept popup web page. Of course, the browser would render the apostrophe, but the string itself (escaped as HTML) was forwarded to the back end as a query string which, of course, could not be found in either database name field!
