History search java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException

Hi,

I was playing with the history (this is a full time job for
me these 
days))
) and when trying to search with " kak vurvi*******
" the 
following exception appeared:

     [java] Exception in thread "Thread-22" 
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta
character '*' near 
index 17

I think it could be because the special characters are not
escaped when 
making the regular expression. I have made myself a method
that do that, 
but it's in the gui package. If really this is the problem
causing that 
exception and if this could be a common task we could think
about making 
a general method in the util package. Or maybe it's already
there?

Yana

OK. If Damian also needs it you should indeed put it in
util.
