Searching for Unicode requires pressing Enter twice

[andersk]

You can search for an ASCII keyword by typing it in the search box and pressing Enter once, but to search for a Unicode keyword you need to type it and press Enter twice.

Fascinating. I wonder what causes that.

The problem is that when an Unicode character is typed it triggers the 'compositionend' event, but this event is used to handle the case where the user lefts the search bar using enter, so the first enter is used to "left" the search bar, the second one is triggers the search on the 'keyup' event.
