Description:
When following SFX links to the OPAC if any punctuation such as a colon is included in the search then the search fails.
Is there a table or something which can control how the OPAC handles puncuation? Can we ask it to ignore colons?

Resolution:
In XXX01/tab/tab_word_breaking, there is a word routine "90" which is reserved for the system. It is used when parsing a FIND query. This section should look like this:

90 # compress_h_quote
90 # to_blank @$^_={}[]:;<,.\/

I can see that section 90 is commented out on your server. Please add it, restart the servers and test again.
