Bug ID: 16804
Summary: Searching can be broken by search terms containing
semicolons in XSLT
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Searching
Assignee: [email protected]

As of CGI version 2.64 ( which was a long time again ) Perl's CGI module began
supporting the use of the semicolon (;) as a key value pair separator in
addition to the ampersand (&) which Koha currently uses.
This causes an issue where is search string is truncated at the semicolon. Not
only can this cause issues with incorrect searches/results, it can cause
malformed CCL which causes Koha to return no search results!
Test Plan:
1) Create a record with a 490$a series statement where there is a semicolon at
the end
2) Enable OPAC Suppression
3) Search for the record and click the "Series:" link
4) You will get no results
This is because the search:
se,phr:"Report to the Mississippi Legislature ;"
is
converted to
se,phr:"Report to the Mississippi Legislature
When the opac suppression is tacked on, we get malformed CCL:
(se,phr="Report to the Mississippi Legislature ) not Suppress=1
This is not an issue if we simply search for se,phr:"Report to the Mississippi
Legislature ;" because the search form properly encodes the semicolon.
The solution appears to be to make sure all URL elements are properly url
encoded and converts all ";" to "%3B".
I do notice that in
koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slimUtils-MODS31.xsl we have a
template url-encode that may prove useful.
