<p>This fixes an error that occurs in cataloging search when entering a search term with ten characters (like "7th Heaven" or "2nd editio") - Koha thinks you are entering an ISBN10 number, gets confused and delivers an error page. Searching now works as expected for ISBN13/ISBN10 (without the '-'s), title and author searches.</p>
