You may have noticed that we use the eDisMax search engine. The default Lucene search engine is more restrictive. This query thinks C is a category type (like title) which doesn’t exist so throws “Undefined field C” error. Encoding the colon as %3A has the same result.

The eDisMax engine is more tolerant of user input. This query finds C:N in the abstract.
