Author results also appears when I limit my search to title only. I think it appears because KOHA indexing treats statement of responsibility as part of title. Other ILS systems pull only title matches from tag 245, 505 and 490 etc. We migrated from Millennium to KOHA and Millennium pulls only documents matches the word in title, series etc. For example : melm 245$a Title-cover:w,Title-cover:p,Title-cover:s,Title:w,Title:p,Title:s melm 245$c Author,Author-in-order:w,Author-in-order:p,Author-in-order:s melm 245$9 Cross-Reference:w,Koha-Auth-Number Here KOHA treats 245 $c (statement of responsibility ) as part of title. Live Example : I searched for Shakespeare in Title but document with Shakespeare as an Auhtor also appear in the search result.

This is still an issue in 19.05. If we're going to continue to include Author in a title search, then maybe the title search needs a different name to reflect that more is included. A colleague suggested "Title - Statement." I would expect a title search to be more focused. We're seeing results where the actual title entered is showing up way down the results list, which is confusing and frustrating for staff and patrons.

If you are using "QueryAutoTruncate" try turning this off to improve the relevancy ranking (there is an existing bug there)
