[ic] Upgrade from 4.6.5 to 4.8.2 breaks complex category search

IC 4.8.2-1 rpm - Construct - Default DB - Redhat 7.0 - Perl 5.6

Hi list,

I just upgraded to 4.8.2 and its a beautiful thing! I use complex searches
within the design area of admin. This search worked great until I upgraded:

fi=products/st=text/se=Hammers/ml=15/tf=description/sf=category/co=yes

It produces this page error and the same in error log:
Sorry, no matches for

Errors:
Search strings must be at least 1 characters. You had no search string
specified.

Can someone recommend an equivalent search expression, without using
carriage returns like:

fi=products
st=text
se=Hammers
ml=15
tf=description
sf=category
co=yes

Mike Heins originally told me to use the / to eliminate the use of carriage
returns, but this does not work with 4.8.2. I can 'create' a working
expression in the design area, but it uses carriage returns, and when
exporting/importing the table it gets messed up.

Simple expressions work (Category=Hammers), so it must be something in the
complex search expression. I have searched google for 'complex search
interchange' and reviewed the docs on complex searches without an answer.

Thanks a bunch!
