HTML entities break exact match search results #2

Description

@andrewbridge

Reproduce: Search "Be Here Now" on https://audioxide.com
Expected: ‘Be Here Now’ and Mr. Hyde is returned
Actual: No results are returned
Cause: The title uses an open bracket that likely gets converted to an HTML entity (correctly), but the search index probably takes it as a whole word, and won't match "Be" on its own.
Suggested Action: deburr, normalise or remove HTML entities prior to generating the search index
