Template search doesn't paginate properly for <h

[nep]

Description of the problem
When you search in templates for the < or > character, the template pagination links at the bottom of the first page of results encodes them as HTML characters, but then pagination doesn't work properly.

How To Reproduce

1. Have a site with a lot of templates. Go to the template manager: /system/index.php?/cp/design
2. Search for <h ... get a lot of results
3. Click on the Page 2 link or any other pagination link: /system/index.php?/cp/design/template/search&search=%26lt%3Bh&perpage=25&sort_col=template&sort_dir=asc&page=2
4. See error: No Templates found.

Error Messages

Environment Details:

• Version: 5.3.2
• PHP Version N/A
• MySQL Version N/A
• OS: N/A
• Web Server: N/A

Possible Solution
Properly html-decode the < > . Or don't double encode it in the pagination links. Just be careful not to echo it out in the search box or "we found" section problematically.

+1 Have also found this to be a problem. A workaround which avoids pagination is to use the 'show' drop-down to show all results on one page (if practical), but it would be good to fix the search term encoding for pagination.
