title: Fix file search results when they match file contents with a number between
  two colons
merge_request: 16462

type: fixed
Fix project search results for digits surrounded by colons A file containing /:\d+:/ in its contents would break the search results if those contents were part of the results, because we were splitting on colons, which can't work with untrusted input. Changing to use the null byte as a separator is much safer. 2018-01-15 09:49:27 -05:00			`---`
