Our children's librarian was looking at Treasure Island (ISBN: 0679804021),
and clicked on the series "Step-up classics" under "Search for related
items by series". The search that comes up is for "stepup classics",
without the hyphen, which gives 0 results, not even the item she started
from. Changing it to "Step-up classics" or "Step up classics" gives 16
results. Same in public OPAC.

I have confirmed the above report in our recently updated training server and in our production server.

Just a note, this looks to be over-aggressive normalization by the TPAC.

I took a page from Jason's book and fixed the series link the same way he fixed the author's link on the search results page in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1183418. The below branch replaces special characters with a space.

Thanks Kathy! Picked to master and backported to rel_2_6 and rel_2_5 as bug fix.
