Description Barton Chittenden 2017-03-17 12:58:03 UTC
To replicate:

A keyword search for

    juggling for the complete klutz

    or a single quoted version of the same:

    'juggling for the complete klutz'

on https://demo.bywatersolutions.com returns the following result: https://demo.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=36263


The same search, surrounded by double quotes returns no hits:

    "juggling for the complete klutz"

https://demo.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=%22juggling+for+the+complete+klutz%22&branch_group_limit=

... RESULTS OF SEARCH FOR 'KW,WRDL: "JUGGLING FOR THE COMPLETE KLUTZ"'
No results found!
No results found for that in ByWater Library System catalog. 

Sorry we didn't find what you were looking for

Note that this issue is separate from the URL encoding issues in Bug 13301.

Barton, have you tried enabling the QueryParser? I'm more inclined to fix the QueryParser if there are issues with it, and stop spending time on the legacy query parsing code.
Comment 3 Magnus Enger 2017-05-09 19:33:31 UTC
I had a customer complaining about this exact issue. Setting UseQueryParser = Try solves it.

Not sure if that might cause other issues, though...

This bug is a bit strange and still valid. 

I can not replicate it on my test instance with master and Zebra or on our 18.11 installation.

But it still appears broken on Bywater's installation as linked here. I wonder if it's anything to do with configuration and where to start looking.

Switching the QueryParser on is NOT a solution, as we just removed the QueryParser from the code.
