Search in web UI returns no library results when ':' is in the search string

Example with the movie "Sister Swap: Christmas in the City"

No results from the library (but it does exist in the library, see further below):

But it correctly returns the upcoming airing from the guide:

Now without the ':' character, the library entry shows up:

And the guide is still good too:

Does appear to be a bug.
Curious what happens if you include the double quote marks in the search box
"Sister Swap: Christmas in the City"

Hmmmm... seems to be the exact same bug as this:

This doesn't work:

With quotes, does work:

But it looks like you don't have to quote around the entire thing when dealing with specific characters. For instance, here's a title with : like yours:

Now with a single quote around just the colon:

So it is related to how certain (special?) characters are parsed in the web, for sure.

Not for me on 2023.12.06.0611...

Had to put the single quotes around the colon:

Interestingly, there seems to be a difference depending upon the type of content (Imports and Streamlinks vs. Recordings) and titles vs. episodes (the latter seems to work in a few tests), and also possibly if the metadata has been edited. Then again, sometimes it doesn't work a lot of different ways:

There just isn't enough consistency for me to figure out for sure what all the conditions are for when it will work and when it won't.
