The slash means that doing a find_tagged_with fails due to a routing error. Is there any magic trick to escape the slash so that this doesn't happen? Does anyone have a regular expression that will strip out all 'bad' characters like this? I am happy to report that the new 2.0.2 update does deal with characters like `, quotes, ampersands, etc. Thanks for that.
