Upgrade StorageGoogle Scholar Search fails when markup is in the title
Hi,
Using the 'Google Scholar Search' from the 'Locate' pulldown. for an item where the title has markup usually results in Google not finding the item in question. For example, a paper with the title:
Target strength and tilt-angle distribution of the lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus)
will not be found because the search string passed to Google contains the markup for italics (the title is passed to Google inside "", so it searches for an exact match). Removing the markup fixes the problem.
I propose that Zotero strips out formatting markup before passing it onto Google Scholar.

But don't expect this to get fixed super quickly (unless someone else wants to submit a patch).
