Item10269: PurePerl search for form.name in a subweb (using the / web separator) over-escapes and so give no results

Paul found it in MongoDB query when using the slower regex code, but I've confirmed the same issue exists for the PurePerl regex engine.

so

SEARCH{"form.name='TaxonProfile/Builder.TermForm'" results in qr/(?-xism:%META:FORM{.*\\bname=\\"TaxonProfile\\\\\\/Builder\\.TermForm\\")/

which is about a bajillion too many =/='s

this bug probably covers all versions :/

I'll add some unit testage for it.

it seems there is some old code in PurePerl that i don't grok, and doesn't seem to have aunit test covering for.

<SvenDowideit>               # Escape /, used as delimiter. This also blocks any attempt to use
<SvenDowideit>               # the search string to execute programs on the server.
<SvenDowideit>                 $raw_searchString =~ s!/!\\/!g;

the regex fails to escape the /, instead adding an escaped \

i'll commit removing on \ and a unit test for this task and we'll see if anyone notices anything.
