https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/saved-searches-double-escaping-spaces-in-name/m-p/103579#M26774 <P>I'm running into an issue where I'm unable to run searches from the searches and reports drop down because the name of the search appears to be getting double escaped. So for example clicking on "Test Search" goes to:<BR /> /en-US/app/search/flashtimeline?s=Test%2520Search</P> <P>which doesn't work, though Test%20Search works. As %25 is the character %, it appears that the search name is getting double escaped. Has anyone ever seen this? Any ideas? This is Splunk 4.2, build 96430.</P> Tue, 17 May 2011 21:33:09 GMT westneat 2011-05-17T21:33:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/saved-searches-double-escaping-spaces-in-name/m-p/103579#M26774 <P>I'm running into an issue where I'm unable to run searches from the searches and reports drop down because the name of the search appears to be getting double escaped.

Hopefully, both issues will get addressed at the same time.</P> Wed, 18 May 2011 17:58:34 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/saved-searches-double-escaping-spaces-in-name/m-p/103580#M26775 LukeMurphey 2011-05-18T17:58:34Z
