real filename as input to CreateSearchUrl
#1
Question 
I have a database with a web interface containing information about my videos - I'd like to write a scraper for it.
As key in my DB I use the full filename, but when CreateSearchUrl is called $$1 only contains the filename processed for lookups not the real one Sad.

Is there a way to get the real filename into CreateSearchUrl?

As far as I'm aware this isn't done, no. It would be relatively simple to provide it in e.g. $$3 or some such. Patches welcome, though we'd need to consider that some scrapers may be using $$3 for other stuff? Not sure.

$$3 may break existing scrapers.
It's better to add some flag, like "clearname='no'".

did someone find a solution for this ?
How can I get the name without the replacements of space or '-' to a '+' char?
Thanks
