Search for URL identifier with ':'?

JimmXinu · 11-27-2013, 04:11 PM

I used to be able to search for a book by url identifier with:

identifiers:"=url:=http|//test1.com?sid=21"

But that doesn't work anymore.

I see a notice back in 1.4 that colons are now allowed in identifiers, which is all well and good, but this search doesn't work either:

identifiers:"=url:=http://test1.com?sid=21"

I've had to resort to regular expression searches that don't include the ':' or removing the 'http:' to make the search work.

Is there a proper way to do this search that I'm not finding?

Thanks.

Use a substring search, for example: identifiers:"url://test.com"
