html not escaped in search

[Daniel Brumbaugh-Keeney]

Binary package hint: meld

html is not properly escaped in the find dialog, causing it not to correctly report the results of a failed search. If the search term is valid html, it will be rendered, if not, the search query will be wrapped with additional html display tags.

The bug can be reproduced by searching any document for an ampersand '&gibberish' or <span size="smaller">a</span><span size="larger">b</span>

Thank you for the bug report and fix.
I've verified that it fixes this bug and will sponsor the upload.

Please note that I've changed debian/changelog (should not contain lines longer than 75-80 chars and added info about the upstream fix, so that it makes the next merge easier).
Also, I've forwarded the bug and patch to Debian, which I'll link here later.
