 * I have been using a wp data access project to create data entry forms.
    Works
   like a charm. Recently, I have noticed a difference of behaviour in the search
   function. I store permanent hyperlinks, sometimes as a key value. Often, this
   is the most distinct value in a record. For a couple of days now, when I enter
   a hyperlink in the search function, e.g. [https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:000021342:mpeg21:a0007](https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:000021342:mpeg21:a0007)
   I no longer find the corresponding record. Checking the value in the search box,
   the string has been converted to https-resolver-kb-nl-resolveurnddd000021342mpeg21a0007
   I imagine this has something to do with preventing sql insertion. Is this a bug
   or is it intended behaviour? Thanks for two very powerful plugins, I use both
   wp data access and wp code to power my site. Frans

 * Hi Frans,
 * Good observation!! 🙂
 * It was not to prevent SQL injection, but I was indeed tighten security. Looks
   like this was too tight. 😉 Sorry for that. Let me look into this and find a 
   better alternative for the next update.
 * Thank you for reporting,
    Peter
