Description Nick Clemens (kidclamp) 2021-04-20 18:28:27 UTC

Bug 26533 fixes the 'exact' search option to search exactly

This reveals that the ES search includes punctuation

In koha testing docker search for:
Addison-Wesley professional computing series
And then:
Addison-Wesley professional computing series.

You get different records

Mmmm.
Should we only consider ending punctuation ?
Because I think we want to keep distinction between "Wi-Fi" and "Wifi", right ?
Same for parenthesis and back·slash.

I think this may be connected to bug 26472. It appears a wider discussion about how Elastic Search is handling punctuation is needed.

Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2023-07-01 08:20:33 UTC

Is this the same discussion as bug 21357?

Comment 4 Esther Melander 2023-07-03 15:21:05 UTC

It is similar, but it is actually closer to bug 26472 Elasticsearch - ES - Authority record results not ordered correctly due to punctuation marks.
