web: JavaScript character when searching for Chinese characters

[kmephistoh]

I use web plugin , it can't search Chinese in the search box. Access route url for Chinese will be ok.

Hmm; could be an encoding problem. Is there an error, either on the client side (in the JavaScript console) or the server side (beets' output)?

JavaScript console 6 errors 1 warning:
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.

/home/kevin/music/Non-Album
kevin@Arch ~/music/Non-Album $ ll
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 kevin kevin 4096 Mar 11 15:12 大乔小乔

beet config:

data directory: /home/kevin/.config/beets
library database: /home/kevin/music/data/musiclibrary.blb
library directory: /home/kevin/music

access http://localhost:8337/#item/query/大乔小乔 work well

Thanks for the details. I reproduced this in Safari; it seems to be a front-end JavaScript issue on this line. The fault may be occurring in Backbone, since I think we're passing along a correctly escaped path. This may just require a Backbone library upgrade.
