Hi Bryan,

The colon is a reserved character in Solr (which the search engine uses).  
But you should be able to escape it by simply surrounding it with quotes.

So, if you search "My Title: my latest paper" (with the quotes!) that 
should work to search by the colon.  However, if you don't include the 
quotes, then a field-based search will try to run.  For more information on 
using search in DSpace 7, see the docs 
at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Search+-+Advanced
