Initial Comment:
Glimpse supports regular expressions with characters
such as < & > in them, and also allows these to be
escaped ie \< & \>.  However, the http washing code
treats these as illegal and aborts the search request.

Clearly the freetext searching functions should allow a
wider range of permissible inputs than the other scripts.
