<p>How are you searching this field? If you've added it to the
options in the PUI or SUI advanced search, it should be escaping
the colon for you. If searching via the API, you probably need to

We're currently experimenting with creating a new index field (a
StrField) for alternative forms of our resource and archival
object identifiers. This field is largely working fine and
behaving as expected, but over the course of testing this work
out we've noticed that searches including colons don't appear to
return any results, even when the exact content of the index
field is used (with or without quotation marks around the whole
search). Have other people experienced something similar? Is
there a known workaround?</div>
