Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any glycosyl bond. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of alpha-(2->3)-, alpha-(2->6)-, alpha-(2->8)-glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic residues in oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, colominic acid and synthetic substrates. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of alpha-glycosidic linkages in oligo- or poly(sialic) acids. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any O-glycosyl bond. Catalysis of the endohydrolysis of (2->8)-alpha-sialosyl linkages in oligo- or poly(sialic) acids.
