latexcodec does register a search function.

> It's good practice to always only use ASCII lower case chars and the underscore for codec names.

latexcodec uses encoding names like "latex+ascii" and their search function used "+" as a separator.

Don't worry, I just fixed latexcodec, my fix is already merged upstream! I simply changed the search function to split on "_" if the name contains "_".
