    Queries with colon (":") fail to retrieve headings that have the colon

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 17.01

    Description:
    It has been reported that queries with a colon (":") in them fail to retrieve a heading that has the colon. I assume this means that the colon isn't being removed from the query before the search is done. (It is removed from indexing.)

    Please advise on changes to tab_word_breaking that would fix this.

    Resolution:
    Word routine "90" in tab_word_breaking is reserved for the system. It is used when parsing a FIND query.

    The to_blank line in the "90" routine in tab_word_breaking lacked the colon:

    90 # to_blank <--- add colon to list of characters

    Adding the colon and restarting the web server corrected the problem.
