Doing an advanced search in the staff client using drop down "Title" search for "Black and Decker" The first search result is The complete guide to patios : plan, build and maintain by Schmidt, Philip. Black & Decker Corporation (Towson, Md.) Where 'Schmidt, Philip' and 'Black & Decker Corporation (Towson, Md.)' are separate author links. The link under 'Black & Decker Corporation (Towson, Md.)' Is http://.../cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=au:%22Black%20&%20Decker%20Corporation%20(Towson,%20Md.)%22 This is a keyword search, rather than search by phrase, so the most relevant results are all authors with 'Black' in their names, rather than 'Black & Decker', which would have ranked higher in a search by phrase. The library is *not* using queryparser. Indexing using DOM. Possibly related bugs: The library in question is using authorities, but the bug description doesn't really match. Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5842 Cross-Reference links to authorized fields give incomplete search results --- This is old, and marked as 'pushed' it seems relevant, but I'm not sure. Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5941 Change the link in the authority search results to a phrase search --- Not directly related, but it also has to do with cross reference links... Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13301 Call number link in search results is broken
This issue is due to the not uri-encoded & in the generated URL. It's fixed by the use of str:uri-encode in the XSLT templates now.
