What sort of sanitisation/validation does Low Search perform on inputs?
I've got a situation where I can't use the normal form tag so I need to manually create the encoded query.
We're working on a property website and we have a form on the homepage which simply contains a keyword field, and a set of radio buttons for either Lettings or Sales, depending on which you choose it will redirect you to '/sales/search/{ENCODED_QUERY}/' or '/lettings/search/{ENCODED_QUERY}/''. I can't see a way of doing this using Low Search so Im setting the form to go to a php script which then manually recreates the encoded query and redirects to the right place.
What i'm wondering is, do I need to sanitise the the inputs or does Low Search deal with that when it performs the search?
Cheers!

You could actually use the Form tag here. You can move the result_page parameter inside the form and apply different values to it, based on a different selection, using JavaScript. Or use a radio button like this:

You learn something new every day, that worked perfectly.
