Description vimal kumar 2014-04-05 18:49:00 UTC
Librarians need to search and find specific book using barcode.
In present situation, advanced search has the provision to search barcode, it give a big list of books instead of single book.

I think koha search barcode from xml, so it display a big list of books.
We need to get details of specific book from advanced search.

Could the problem be related to QueryAutoTruncate? It sounds like it might depend on the type of barcodes in use at the library.

The item search requires specific truncation, so this might be a valid workaround looking for a specific item it can be the first choice.

This problem can be solve by using "bc:" along with barcode.
Thank you.
