A patron search history typically reads like this : Date Search Results 03/02/2012 15:49:18 au,wrdl: test2 0 03/02/2012 15:49:04 se,wrdl: test 0 03/02/2012 15:48:51 nb: test 0 03/02/2012 15:47:09 kw,wrdl: tsfdfs 0 03/02/2012 15:47:01 kw,wrdl: tsfdfs 0 A more explicit list would be a nice improvement : au,wrdl : author se,wrdl : series nb : isbn kw,wrdl : (all) ti,wrdl : title su,wrdl : subject callnum,wrdl : callnumber Am i missing any ?
There are some additional ones here: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/searching.html#searchprefixes
Adrien, are you currently working on that? Mathieu
With the bootstrap opac we show the search terms again in the breadcrumbs. Libraries have reported this to be confusing - any progress on this? Or maybe some code that could be used as a starting point?
I'm not working on that, I dont even remember why I was assigned. Feel free
Re-writing the search history sounds like a very bad idea to me. If we want to have a more explicit list in the search history, it would be a better idea to change the qualifiers/aliases used in the Advanced Search and the masthead search. That way, the search history (and the search result pages) would be more user-friendly, but we wouldn't be re-writing anything. This also means advanced users would have their queries stored in the search history unaltered. As an advanced user, it would make me happy not to have my searches mangled after the fact. Honestly, changing the qualifiers/aliases used in the Advanced Search and masthead search to something more user-friendly might actually lower the barrier to entry for people who see things like "au" and "wrdl" in the code and get intimidated.
P.S. That's not me saying that I want to work on this though :p.
...And whoever works on this, also remember to consider translation. (These cryptic search prefixes are one of the things both patrons and staff have complained about...)
Not for the search history yet, but please see bug 15434 for a solution for the breadcrumbs.
