https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20334 Bug ID: 20334 Summary: Option for escaping slashes in search queries Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Elasticsearch Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: glasklas@gmail.com There are a number of reserved characters in the Elasticsearch query syntax (+ - = && || > < ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ /). Slash (/), which is used for regexps, is quite often used in searches with the intent as it should be interpreted as a literal sting. This causes the search to crash since Elasticsearch treats this as an unclosed regular expression (or a regexp if two slashes are used which can be even more confusing). To address this particular case here is a patch with an option to escape slashes (or require them to be escaped to count as a regular expression delimiter). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
