It's not very human friendly though.  There's also some mojibake from
the fancy quotes:

    one a unique “server nameâ€

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake

    Mojibake (文字化け) (IPA: [mod͡ʑibake]; lit. "character transformation"),
    from the Japanese 文字 (moji) "character" + 化け (bake, pronounced
    "bah-keh") "transform", is the garbled text that is the result of text
    being decoded using an unintended character encoding

PS I would find that search much more usable if it coalesced matches to
the same bug; as it is, you typically have to scroll past a lot of
repeats for long bug threads.
