 * Hi! Thanks for the plugin. I encountered a bug when updating to version 1.3:
   “
   Cannot read length() of null -> line 53 of hist-extend.uncompressed.js”
 * Here’s a (quick) fix:
 *     ```
       qarr = qstr.match(/([^\s"]+)|"([^"]*)"/g);
           if( qarr != null ){
               for (var j=0; j < qarr.length; j++){
       /*
       console.log('added ' + qarr[j] + ' to search array');
       */
                   hlst_query[j] = qarr[j].replace(/"/g,'');
               }
           }
       ```
