Subject: quick filter not working for attributes with special char  
Hi,
  I'm using elog 3.1.3 and I have an elogbook with an attribute with name 
Attributes = Author, CO2 Temp [deg], ...

If I add this attributes to quick list, 
Quick filter = Author, CO2 Temp [deg]

it does display on web page, but the search fails with "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" if I leave the default value in the corresponding quick filter box.

My understanding is that the presence of a "[]" in the default search value is the reason for failure and if I remove them the search works fine.

Is there a workaround?

I don't want to change the attribute name, since I do have quite a large number of entries in the elogbook, and I'd like to keep the attribute in the quick search if possible.

Thanks,
  Stefano
