---- Reported by mdhafen@tech.washk12.org 2006-05-31 06:59:14 ---- One of my librarians asked for this. If the opac search finds no results I added code to shorten all the search terms to four letters and try again. Maybe someone else would like this too. ---- Additional Comments From mdhafen@tech.washk12.org 2006-05-31 06:59:30 ---- Created an attachment proposed patches. ---- Additional Comments From jmf@liblime.com 2007-10-04 14:05:25 ---- neat idea, the search has changed in 3.0, but I'm open to something like this, I'll assign it to myself. Those librarians always have the best ideas :-) --- Bug imported by chris@bigballofwax.co.nz 2010-05-20 23:38 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 1091 at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=1091 Imported an attachment (id=67) Actual time not defined.

Attached patch is 'ancient' predates git and Zebra. I am marking it as obsolete, because a complete new implementation would be needed to add this feature to current Koha. Changing bug status back to new.
I wonder if this is still a desired feature. There are currently different approaches to help searches: - Fuzzy - Stemming - Auto truncation Would shortening the terms (with auto-truncation) really work?
This is a very old enhancement request, and I can't see it working well in practice. Instead, I think an Edit Search like in Bug 22605 is a much more usable path forward.
