Sonarr does not query Jackett for show title containing "illegal" characters.
Both Sonarr and Jackett were pulled from master today.

Running Sonarr with --debug I see:

[Info] NzbSearchService: Searching 2 indexers for [OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes : S01E52]

[Debug] NzbSearchService: Total of 0 reports were found for [OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes : S01E52] from 2 indexers

While in Jackett:

Manually searching in Jackett yields:

I see there's already an entry on the "Scene Naming (Responses)" google sheet (row 144 under "Old Responses - July 23rd 2018"). But that doesn't seem to solve the problem for me.

Maybe I'm missing something but why can't Sonarr just query the Jackett indexer with HTML/URL escaped patterns?
