Description Kelly McElligott 2020-01-23 14:47:03 UTC 
According to the text associated with the system preference, UseQueryParser, this TRY/Don'T Try option will not affect anything however, It does affect searching.  

It would appear if a library does set this to TRY, it will have an impact as it appears QueryParser is installed on Koha sites by default. 

Can we remove this text or add a different warning, such as "This will affect all searching in KOha" 

Wording currently on system preference "to use the QueryParser module for parsing queries. Please note: enabling this will have no impact if you do not have QueryParser installed, and everything will continue to work as usual."

Hi Kelly, I think you are right, at least the second part should be removed. But I'd like to suggest something else: Remove QueryParser.

There are so many problems with it and it doesn't look like anyone will spend the time to fix them (see bug 12742 and linked bugs)
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2020-02-24 20:53:11 UTC 
We've voted to remove the QueryParser code (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_4_March_2020), so I am closing this WONTFIX.
