Request for Netreo search field to support a wider range of UTF-8 characters, including white spaces (%C2%A0).

Currently, Netreo search field supports white spaces in the search. For example, entering white space before and after a device name will return the device correctly.

Attempting to copy the device name from an excel document, because of the white space that copied over, the search does not return the device name. Looking into the URL data, we found that the white space was represented by '%C2%A0', which is not supported by our Search Field. Copying between applications into Excel and into Netreo will not always produce the supported whitespace.

Having the Search field support these white spaces and more will prevent manual removal of the white space when searching for devices.

Attached is an example devices from excel that when we copy the cell and the included whitespace, it does not return the device in my lab.
