Thank you for your hard work on this project.

Was looking for (or one of the aliases of): The Honor of Oldtown
Searching in: They reached Oldtown on a cold damp morning, when the fog was so thick that the beacon of the Hightower was the only part of the city to be seen. A boom stretched across the harbor, linking two dozen rotted hulks. Just behind it stood a line of warships, anchored by three big dromonds and Lord Hightower's towering four-decked banner ship, the <i>Honor of Oldtown.</i> Once again the <i>Cinnamon Wind</i> had to submit to inspection. This time it was Lord Leyton's son Gunthor who came aboard, in a cloth-of-silver cloak and a suit of grey ename led scales. Ser Gunthor had studied at the Citadel for several years and spoke the Summer Tongue, so he and Qurulu Mo adjourned to the captain's cabin for a privy conference.

As you can see, it looks like any time there are any special HTML characters in the text being searched, the application throws an error message.
