Description Katrin Fischer 2011-04-25 19:33:02 UTC
When searching for linked records for an authority in OPAC's authority search the search is not exact.

http://localhost/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?type=opac&q=1&idx=an

Will bring up all records with an authority number starting with one.

The link in intranet works correctly:

http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?type=intranet&op=do_search&idx=an,phr&q=1

Changing the opac link accordingly brings up the right records:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?type=opac&q=1&idx=an,phr

comment from hdl:

imho, phr is not really what we would like.
What would best fit is the usage of ext... But that would require a
change in the koha-Auth-Number indexing and reindexing the biblios....
use
elm xxx$9 Koha-Auth-Number:w,Koha-Auth-Number:p,Koha-Auth-Number:n
n declaration should be optionnal.

Which may not be what we want either.
there are other places where this is required and needed
xslt, opac-detail and intranet detail
hope that helps.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2011-05-03 08:21:17 UTC
I copied the search string from intranet to opac, because it worked like I expected it to work in intranet.

The search link is constructed quite differently from other places in Koha, like the XSLT files. So I am not sure more changes are needed. I had tested a search for the author from the OPAC detail page and it seemed to work ok.

This needs more testing, but I think the patch will fix the described problem in OPAC's authority search.
