[Semediawiki-user] Query URL Property Expression Error

[Jamie T. <ja...@th...>]

Team SMW,

I've got a wiki that I keep bookmarks in (http://links.thingelstad.com/) and it I have a Has URL property. URL's can contain all sorts of odd characters of course and mostly it seems fine, but when I do a query where the URL has an "=" character I get issues.

This query is used to find the count of pages with a given URL, for example:

{{#ask: [[Has URL::http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/03/67-books-for-kids/?pid=1185&viewall=true]] | format=count }}

Generates an error:

Some subquery has no valid condition.

The equal signs are causing this. If I remove them the query runs okay.

Is this a bug in SMW?

Are there recommendations for working with URL's in SMW and SMW queries? I considered URL encoding all the URL's before storing and querying (using {{urlencode:}} magic word and {{#urldecode:}} via ParserFunctions) and I may need to do that...
