The issue:

• the letter ' which is URL encoded in the link https://arabww.digital.utsc.utoronto.ca/search-results?f[0]=linked_agent:%20al%20It'haf%20Publishing%20House&term_id=2634, the view with facets can't capture or decode back to the original to filter the results.

Solution

Problem is caused by HTML escaping characters. Can be solved by rewriting the URL.

• Go to View > item_metadata > Content: Linked Agent (Linked Agent)
• Rewrite Result > Under Override the output of this field with custom text > Text add the following Twig filter after ...f[0]=linked_agent:{{ linked_agent_info[1]
  • |replace({"&amp;":"&", "&#039;":"'", "&lt;":"<", "&gt;":">"})|url_encode
  • This replaces HTML escaped characters with the actual characters so url_encode can encode them for URL to work
• It should look like this after ...f[0]=linked_agent:{{ linked_agent_info[1]|replace({"&amp;":"&", "&#039;":"'", "&lt;":"<", "&gt;":">"})|url_encode }}...
