 * Hi, thanks for providing this plugin. When I query something with “&” in the 
   value, I can’t get any result. Let say I want to filter company name like this:
 * [https://mydomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/sales?filter%5Bmeta_query%5D%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=company_name&filter%5Bmeta_query%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Tiffany](https://mydomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/sales?filter%5Bmeta_query%5D%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=company_name&filter%5Bmeta_query%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Tiffany)&
   Co
 * The result comes back empty. Is there anyway to query filter with special character
   like “&” ? Thanks
