%25 shows as % in search bar when searched for, so does any ASCII character

[anonymousratwastaken]

Expected Behavior

Searching, e.g. %2C should search for %2C, not the "," character represented hexadecimally through ASCII.
Searching Google for %25 searches internally for %2525 because %25 is % represented hexadecimally through ASCII.

Actual Behavior

Searching Scratch for %25 shows %2525 in the URL (good) but does NOT show any projects including %25 in the name (e.g. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1031011849/), and shows a % instead.
My guess is maybe a broken encodeURIComponent() /decodeURIComponent() function or something similar?
However, searching for %2525 does search for %25 on the client side. So maybe a temporary fix would be to add an extra "%25" to the internally used search paramater?

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://scratch.mit.edu/'
2. Click on the Search bar
3. Search for %25
4. See % instead

I've also experienced that. It's weird, and I am unsure of where it's coming from.
