           Summary: search.pl chokes on searches with "+and+" in the url
           Product: Koha
           Version: rel_3_0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux - Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P3
         Component: Searching
        AssignedTo: jmf at liblime.com

My server became unresponsive quite a few times before I tracked this down.

If a search, such as "mice and men", with the word "and" in the search terms is
run, the search.pl process eats up processor and memory and eventually crashes
the server with out of memory errors.

I found this behavior to be consistent in Koha 3 alpha. I've upgraded to beta2
and tested it out several times. search.pl becomes unresponsive every time I
run a search with +and+. I have to kill the process from the command line
before it takes down my server. Even the command line becomes sluggish when the
bad search.pl process is running. It takes a while to type in the kill command
and for the server to respond by actually killing the process.

I would consider this bug critical.
