[Bug] Special characters interfere with metadata search links #2970

Open sshetenhelm opened 11 hours ago

sshetenhelm commented 11 hours ago

Story When a metadata value has a special character (ex. Creator = Kümmerly + Frey), the search results list that is generated when the value is clicked on does not return any results.

When using the Advanced Search feature, this Creator returns multiple parent objects.

It appears that the special character is interfering with the way in which the search URL is being constructed.

Example 1 - Creator = Kümmerly + Frey

Example 2 - Creator = Keppler & Schwarzmann

We would like the search link that is generated from a metadata value to be constructed in a way that allows for correct searching of the exact value.

Acceptance
