Search-wise, you can enter any text literally. To escape values for printing in HTML forms and general HTML output, use cgi.escape(). To escape values for including in URLs and HTML links, use urllib.quote(). To escape values for storing into DB, run_sql(query, params) should do the job out of the box.
