Created attachment 119342 [details] 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.
