Allow a user to search for a something which begins with a period. for example /search/.my-example

Currently a user would be presented with a forbidden error page as the current .htaccess "Blocks access to "hidden" directories whose names begin with a period."

To reproduce this enable apache solr then search for .something .
I was presented with a forbidden 403 error page.
I would expect to see a search results page.

Title: Add rewrite rule and condition to .htaccess » Impossible to search for a word that begins with a period
Project: » Apache Solr Search
Version: » 7.x-1.x-dev

Drupal's .htaccess file blocks these on purpose. I think this would be an issue for the Apache Solr module to solve.
