EG 2.12-beta

If you're in a bib record & click on an author/added author to run a new search, the string is duplicated in the search box like so:

Tchaikovsky Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilich,1840 18931840-1893
Brahms Johannes Brahms, Johannes,1833 18971833-1897

Which results in "no entries were found". I would expect that clicking on an author/added author would run a normal search for that person.

This only happens when clicking author/added author from within the bib record. Clicking a facet or from within the results list doesn't recreate the extra text or the error, nor does clicking a subject or series from within the bib record.

In 2.12 this can cause a search to fail to return results, often but not completely consistently. It didn't seem to matter if I clicked to search on Author (1xx) or Added Author (7xx). This happened in both XUL and Webby, tested on the MVLC 2.12-beta demo server.

In 2.11 the string gets duplicated in a similar manner but I was unable to get a search to fail because of it.

Per Galen, this is a regression introduced by the patch for https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1308090
