OPACSearchForTitleIn

In OPACSearchForTitleIn, we give a way for OPAC users to search for similar
materials in other libraries. Placeholders available are: {BIBLIONUMBER},
{CONTROLNUMBER}, {TITLE}, {ISBN}, {ISSN} and {AUTHOR}. If for example the
author is a conference name, this would mean this placeholder will have extra
characters like open and close parenthesis: "(" ")" and semi-colons. If this
search query will be passed to InternetArchive Scholar, it will have a query
parser error because the query format is like below: 
author:('query search')
So if the author is "Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission (1961: Manila)",
the corresponding search query will be:
author:('Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission "(1961:" Manila)')
So I propose for a new system preference that will let you add special
characters to ignore for placeholders.
