Bug Description
The subject links in the catalog inappropriately remove periods contained in the subject heading from the search string. However, the normalization that occurs when indexing the records replaces the period with a space. This means that clicking a subject link where there are periods may fail to retrieve records containing that subject heading.
Example:
http://
If you click the last piece of that heading, you'll get no results, even though we know that, at a minimum, the catalog should be retrieving that contained the original link. Note for testers: in some catalogs, this link will retrieve results because they might also be indexing the 043 as a subject, which contains the term, ny. However, I consider a successful retrieval for those systems to be a happy accident.
Another example:
http://
The preferred behavior is to maintain the period in the search string. As part of the search, the catalog can then handle the period in whatever way it should for the normalizer configured for that system.
