https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20723 Bug ID: 20723 Summary: Author links containing hyphen do not return results. Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 17.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: barton@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Created attachment 75144 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=75144&action=edit Marc data known to illustrate the problem. A keyword search for Gene Porter Stratton generates author links of the form {STAFF URL}/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=au:%22Stratton-Porter,%20Gene,%22 This link will return no results. If I replace the hyphen with %20 (i.e. a URL encoded space), the search works: {STAFF URL}/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=au:%22Stratton%20Porter,%20Gene,%22 To replicate: Do a keyword search for an author with a hyphenated name (I've attached a marc record that has Gene Porter-Stratton for convenience). On the results list page or the detail page, click on the link with the author's name, e.g. By: Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924. The results will look like this: No results found No results match your search for 'au:"Stratton-Porter, Gene,"' in Some Library Back up to the previous page. Copy the link url into a text editor. Change the dash to a hyphen. Note that the search succeeds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
