Description

Hi,

when trying to package Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable there seems to be problem with Id field parsing.

Process -
Type into search field "vcredist", hit Search.
Select Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64 from dropdown menu of matching Winget AppID
Hit Check

Result -
No applications found

Expected result -
Correct application found.

I think the "id" field is not parsed correctly as it contains + character. It probably gets replaces somewhere or is not escaped correctly in code. All AppID-s with + in field seem to fail.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by searching for "vcredist", selecting Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64, and choosing Check. Trace the AppID parsing between the search dropdown and the application lookup, then verify that IDs containing + return the correct application while existing IDs still work.
