Description Elaine Bradtke 2013-01-30 21:32:36 UTC
If you click on a suggested term that has no biblios attached to it, it runs a search on the authority number as a stem.  This returns suggested terms based on that start with the same digits.  Example:  Suggested term has authority no. 271 (but there are no biblios linked to this authority. Clicking on this term returns suggestions for terms with authority numbers 2715 and 2716, completely unrelated to the original term.

Would it be possible to  have it search the authority number exactly, instead of using it as a stem? If nothing is found, a statement like:   'no records use this term' rather than suggesting inappropriate alternatives based on a truncated authority number.
