To reproduce: 1. Perform a search. 2. Click on an author link in the search results. 3. Re-sort the results of that author search. The malformed author search link causes the re-sort to fail, redirecting the user to the advanced search form.

> This problem is not only on author ("au:"), but on all simple search indexes : > "se:", "su:", ... You're right. I noticed the author search was causing this error, but call number searches on the results screen are also affected, as well as similar searches on the detail screen. Follow-up patch forthcoming.

The issue Fridolyn describes is a larger issue which needs to be fixed. However, this can be fixed in the meantime by changing the search links.
