Including an ampersand in any search in ListenBrainz will abbreviate the search to anything before the ampersand.

e.g. a search for "Skull & Bones" results in a search query for "Skull".

I guess it's because of the search syntax? But it seems like the '&' isn't used for anything special, since a search for just "Skull Bones" gives far better results.

p.s. The "+" character is also ommitted from a search, but at least doesn't abbreviate the search (I did not do an exhaustive check of special characters)
