[Plugin: Better WP Security] BUG: "Filter Suspicious Query Strings" blocks utf-8 search GE

Hello,

In case the search form of the theme is passing the parameter via GET, and the UTF-8 text is being searched (trying cyrillic), the plugin blocks it due to the “Filter Suspicious Query Strings” setting on.

In particular, this line in .htaccess blocks it:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(%0|%A|%B|%C|%D|%E|%F|127\.0).* [NC,OR]

The search URL is:

http://xyz/?s=%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82

Do you think that could be worked around by allowing UTF-8 if they come under ?s= or &s= ?

Thank you.
