Technical glitch in links
When doing an Advanced Search: Soundtracks for the word ‘link’, I came across the following anomaly.
Creating a link in the form [link=aaXXXXXX], means that the word ‘link’ in this form is not searchable. If a contributor submits a link that is syntactically incorrect, it will not display correctly and the word ‘link’becomes searchable. For example,
[link-aaXXXXXX] or [link aaXXXXXX] or link=aaXXXXXX]
In my search I came across this result. This would indicate that the link was incorrectly formed. It appears to be missing the closing ']'.
When I go to the actually entry, the text displays correctly.
If I look at the underlying text, the link is syntactically correct.
I have waited a fortnight to see if it resolves itself, but it has not.
This is my only experience of such an 'issue'.
Is this a technical glitch?

I also looked at the soundtracks page
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5320610/soundtrack
and its Edit page, seeing what you posted above.
I can not explain the phenomenon.

I'm having difficulty replicating the display results, can you clarify which Advanced Search you are performing and what exact data you are entering into which fields? Once I can successfully replicate the problem I can alert our technical team for further investigation.
Thanks!
