When you pressed Enter in the global search, a query containing &, # or + was cut off or changed before the search ran. For example, h:a&b only searched for h:a, foo#bar only for foo, and the regular expression h:web+ turned into h:web. The entry this added under Recently viewed had the same problem.

The global search now passes the query exactly as you typed it. Recently viewed entries that were stored before this fix keep the broken search, even if you run the same search again. Use Clear all next to Recently viewed to remove them.
