Browse box problem

[swisherh]

When you put something inappropriate into a search box, instead of letting you know as in the elliptic curves page, it gives a server error.
http://beta.lmfdb.org/ModularForm/GL2/Q/holomorphic/ranges?level=r&weight=&character=0&Submit=Search
gives a TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found

In the refactor branch, this is not fixed, but it is now a ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'r'.

[AurelPage]

This issue actually refers to the browse box (there is no search box yet).

After looking at this I have the strong opinion that it should NOT be fixed except by replacing all the custom parsing functions used to process the form input by central standardised ones.

[sanni85]

The new parsing functions have not been applied for classical modular forms yet. So these errors do still occur.

[fredstro]

If I knew how to apply the new parsing functions I would do that but they seem to be completely undocumented and I can't figure out how to use them or if they are even in a state that they could be used.
Since I didn't scroll down far enough to see John's comment that this shouldn't be fixed I went ahead and fixed it but I can just refrain from doing a pull request...

This is fixed as of PR #1465 (possibly earlier), closing.
