Display catalogued books by tags weirdness

When on the 'tags' tab of 'Your books', all the links to what should be subsets of books in my catalogue with a given tag resolve to the homepage.

Manually entering those links (e.g. https://www.librarything.com/catalog/Jarandel&tag=Historical%2Bfiction ) into the browser url field also resolves to the homepage.

Following any of the most often-used tags links from the 'Your tags' section of my homepage also resolves to the homepage.

This may be related to https://www.librarything.com/topic/331775 as an "unexpected redirect to the homepage" issue.

Is this still happening? I'm unable to reproduce at the moment, at least. Scratch that, testing on beta (a test server) and I'll probably be able to reproduce this. I'm late for an appointment and will need to circle back in the morning! Thanks for your patience.

To save you some time, kristilabrie, based on your sleuthing on the other thread I tried this for tags with and without a space. Tags with a space redirect; those without a space, including those with a hyphen, do not.

Something up with tokenization code?

>3 kristilabrie: It seems resolved now.

>4 lorax: Yep, and also a tag I had with an apostrophe reproduced it for me, too. So maybe non-alphanumerical characters do it?

Any news about this bug? I'm seeing it on all my tags that have a 'slash': 'research/information books', 'dogs/wolves/etc', all tags with a slash-mark just redirect to the homepage. I've found that if I go to my tag from the tag's main page (through the 'you use' link) it *doesn't* redirect to homepage, but gives a blank catalogue page with "No books found".

We just had the Meeting To End All Meetings about this today. So, expect some movement in the coming week or so.

So..... Any news? Still happening, doesn't seem like anything has changed. (I'm not up to date on LT news/updates so if I missed a recent post somewhere I apologize.)

>9 Heather19: So, while the redirecting to /home is no longer happening, the searching capability is still broken. I'm compiling all related bug reports into this one for Tag characters breaking in search: https://www.librarything.com/topic/334172. I'll refer to this thread there, please stay tuned there for updates. (Particularly https://www.librarything.com/topic/334172#7602034.)

Thanks for your patience.
