In the Live365 plugin player interface for search mode, the right arrow appended to the search text is not removed, so searches fail.  I have only reproduced / analyzed in 6.2.1, but the same code seems to be in 6.2.2 and 6.5b1.

The problem seems to be in in the doSearch() routine which contains the code:	my $arrow = $client->symbols('rightarrow');
	$searchString{$client} =~ s/$arrow//;

It does not appear that $client-symbols('rightarrow') returns the right value for right arrow -- it returns the single special character for right arrow, but the searchString text actually contains <dn>rightarrow<dn>.  Replacing this with:
	my $arrow = Slim::Display::Display::symbol('rightarrow');
corrects the problem.

See the attached log fragment from d_plugins on that shows that the search text sent to live365 in the search url contains the right arrow cruft.
