------------------------------------------

I saw the "easy fix" label here and thought I'd work on this. Would the owners mind assigning this to me? It would be my first PR/fix and I'd appreciate guidance in executing this as well!

> i'm trying to query documents that contain both "Covers for Modular Outdoor Club Chairs" and "Resort Club & Ottoman Set" in my "vv" array field.
> that single ampersand seems to breaking the default url encoding that is generated in my browser (Chrome 62.0.3202.94) when i click the search link generated at the top of the /query page of the solr UI.
> in the UI, my q is
> {code}
> vv:"Covers for Modular Outdoor Club Chairs" && vv:"Resort Club & Ottoman Set"
> {code}
> the UI generates the following url.  when I click it, i get different results from the results in the /query UI
> {code}
> http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?q=vv:"Covers for Modular Outdoor Club Chairs" && vv:"Resort Club & Ottoman Set"
> {code}
> because the url gets encoded wrong.  Resultant url seen in browser:
> {code}
> http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?q=vv:%22Covers%20for%20Modular%20Outdoor%20Club%20Chairs%22%20&&%20vv:%22Resort%20Club%20&%20Ottoman%20Set%22
> {code}
> Properly-encoded url that leads to correct results:
> {code}
> http://localhost:8983/solr/films/select?q=vv%3A%22Covers%20for%20Modular%20Outdoor%20Club%20Chairs%22%20%26%26%20vv%3A%22Resort%20Club%20%26%20Ottoman%20Set%22
> {code}
> (encoded using https://www.urlencoder.org/)
> if the Solr UI is to generate a clickable link that appears to be equivalent to the UI's search, then it ought to link to the correct search.
> i'm listing this as a "bug" even though it seems to be more of a "flaw" because it's an issue that breaks the user experience and leads to unexpected results.
