           Summary: Parentheses not escaped properly in queries when using
                    XSLT
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: kyle at bywatersolutions.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: master
         Component: Searching
           Product: Koha

When XSLT is enabled, searching on subjects containing parentheses cause an
error. The problem is the parens are not escaped properly, and so are
interpreted as part of the query language, rather than the query string.

For example, this query fails:
(su:{Baggins, Frodo (Fictitious character)}) AND (su:{Fiction})
but this query works:
(su:{Baggins, Frodo \(Fictitious character\)}) AND (su:{Fiction})

I think the problem is within the xslt template subfieldSelect. Interestingly,
with XSLT off, each subject shows up as an individual link ( so one link for
Frogo, and one link for Ficition ) whereas with XSLT on, they subjects are
combined with an AND.
