I entered the ME Terminal and right clicked the search bar to clear it and wanted to search.
I appearently did so too quickly as it crashed with the error

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "codechicken.nei.api.ItemFilter.matches(net.minecraft.item.ItemStack)" because "filter" is null

(also see crashlog at https://mclo.gs/H0p0qsK), implying that the search string has been set to null.

The result is that any time I want to access any terminal that copies that search string, I crash to title screen.
I've tried multiple times, this is consistant.

All terminals I have not set to do this don't crash, but I cannot get my crafing terminal to work again.
(I had to load a backup)

I don't know what caused the search string to be set to null, so I don't know how to recreate it in an arbitrary world.

Edit: I just actually loaded the backup; the issue persists, even in backups a day old.
I'll try to somehow nuke the AE2 information from my instance and report back.

Update to 2.7.2.

[SeseMueller]

Ah, thanks for that, I didn't see that, sorry.

Edit: Updating to 2.7.2 did in fact resolve the issue.

By the way, the fact that the issue persisted across backups means that it was stored somewhere on disk; couldn't I have just deleted some file?
