Utopian Search #keyword hashtag is not escaped
There are two types queries for two different endpoints based on the category as far as i see. Github api search and utopian api.
Expected behavior
Should url encode the hashtag and ad return results properly for github.
Should keep the hashtag and url encode properly for the utopian api search.
Actual behavior
When the search is done through Github the following is returned:
{
"message": "Validation Failed",
"errors": [
{
"resource": "Search",
"field": "q",
"code": "missing"
}
],
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/search"
}
The q parameter aka the search term is missing, it is ignored because of the hashtag.
When searching on utopian api the search term is missing in the request
Sends a query of:
https://api.utopian.io/api/posts/?limit=20&skip=0§ion=all&sortBy=created&type=sub-projects&bySimilarity=&reset=
bySimilarity=
is empty while it should have been
bySimilarity=%23test
How to reproduce

Make sure in the search box you selected Projects: (For github search)

For clarification:
The linked issue is a feature request of searching by tags.
My issue is a bug report of being unable to search when the search term starts with hashtags. I found the explained bug above while examining the github issue.
