I believe this might be because we added code to make the facet display more consistent with various ISBD punctuation (bug 17661) Can I ask why the dot was chosen? Usually it's recommend to avoid any special characters in the codes (at least we recommend it, because things like this :) ) The dot was chosen because the name of the library location consists of multiple words. Does this mean location should be changed and last dot removed as well as change location for all items? I think it would resolve the issue at hand most likely, but depending on the number of items in your system it might be quite a bit of work to do. I'd maybe wait to see if we can get someone to look at the code first - I was mostly guessing as the time frame could fit the change. To explain my comment about characters in codes a bit more: I would not recommend using ., -, _ and similar in codes for locations, collections, libraries and the like usually because these are treated as spaces by Zebra too. For example if you have codes book and e-book - book will also find all e-books, because "e-book" is seen as "e book" so book will match both. Similar for dots. This can be an intended effect sometimes, but often times it's not. |
