I updated the junodownload script and searching by a single field (i.e. album) is fine. However, I came across a problem when I'm trying to search by album **and** artist.

**Junodownload query example/model** : [http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q](http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q)[artist][]=artist+name&q[title][]=album+title

artist+name = %ARTIST% with "+" as its word separator  
album+title = %ALBUM% with "+" as its word separator

**Problem** :  
[Searchby] strips out "[foo][]="

## **Current configuration** : [IndexUrl]=http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q[artist][]=%s [WordSeperator]=+ [IndexFormat]=%Artist%|%\_url%|%Album%|%Publisher%|%Date% [SearchBy]=$replace(%ARTIST%, ,+)&q[title][]=$replace(%ALBUM%, ,+) [Encoding]=utf-8

**Resulting query string** : [http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q](http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q)[artist][]=John+Smith&q=First+Album =\> "Error connecting to server... provided uri is invalid"

**Expected query string** : [http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q](http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q)[artist][]=John+Smith&q[title][]=First+Album

As you can see, q=First+Album should've been q[title][]=First+Album

Compare the following:  
[http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q](http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q)[artist][]=sasha&q=scene+delete+the+remixes  
to  
[http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q](http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q)[artist][]=sasha&q[title][]=scene+delete+the+remixes

Or, is it possible to escape certain characters like "%" in [SearchBy] to yield something like the following for "%s":  
?q%5Bartist%5D%5B%5D=John+Smith&q%5Btitle%5D%5B%5D=First+Album

From the example above, the following works: [http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q[artist][]=sasha&q[title][]=scene+delete+the+remixes](http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q%5Bartist%5D%5B%5D=sasha&q%5Btitle%5D%5B%5D=scene+delete+the+remixes)

Answering myself here, just surround the string that I want to escape with apostrophe's, for example from above:

[SearchBy]= **'**?q%5Bartist%5D%5B%5D= **'** $replace(%ARTIST%, ,+) **'** &q%5Btitle%5D%5B%5D= **'** $replace(%ALBUM%, ,+)
