Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-08-25 20:26:14 UTC

For range searches, Elastic supports searches for ranges with one end bound, like "pubdate greater than or equal to 2020." Except the phrasing for that would be "pubdate:>=2020." And Koha wants to let us use either a colon or an equals sign after our index name, so it always converts an equals sign in to a colon, which means our query turns into "pubdate:>:2020" and we get an error.

Is this still valid? 

I'm passing acqdate:>2000-05-01 to Koha::SearchEngine::Search->new->simple_search_compat() in a workaround for bug 30745 and it's not mangling it.
