Description Katrin Fischer 2012-08-12 14:20:47 UTC
Searching for a barcode with the barcode only as a keyword doesn't find the record. When adding the prefix bc: before the barcode, the barcode is found.

DOM indexing is activated in my installation.

Katrin,

I am just confirming that your situation is the same as ours.

On the staff 'Home' page, 'Search Catalog' input field. If just a barcode is entered, we get:

No results match your search for 'kw,wrdl: 33529004102850'.

I can successfully search for a barcode by entering bc:33529004102850 in the
'Search Catalog' or by going to the 'Advance Search' selecting Barcode from the
dropdown keyword selection and entering the barcode in the search field.

We're also having this issue in a few places.  It appears to be direclty related to DOM indexing.

Comment 3 Jorge de Cardenas 2012-08-15 13:27:19 UTC
This is not a good fix but I replaced:

if(not $index){
   	$index = 'kw';
}

in Search.pm (around line 1182) with:

if(not $index){
	if($operand =~ m/[0-9]{14}/){
			$index = 'bc';
	}else{
         $index = 'kw';
	}
}

Our barcodes are 14 digits long, it tests for 14 digits and sets the index to 'bc' instead of 'kw' when no index was submitted. There is probably a way to fix this through the zebra configuration files but I don't understand them well enough to try it.

It seems the line "all any" in record.abs is not carried through to the dom xml and xsl files used.
Another workaround to add barcode back in to the general search is to add the "any" index for the barcode in record.abs, re-generate the xml and xsl then rebuild the zebra indexes.
So the line in record.abs:

melm 952$p      barcode,barcode:n

becomes:

melm 952$p      barcode,barcode:n,any:w

Then follow the wiki to remake xml and xsl (don't just copy/paste as the example is unimarc):
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Switching_to_dom_indexing

It still does not explain how other main fields are retrieved with "any" but have no explicit "any" index in record.abs, but at least it is not changing the code only to be changed back when fixed.

The new patch re-adds a line that got missed and caused issues in the original patch.
Comment 8 Martin Renvoize 2013-02-13 12:41:48 UTC
As an aside.. the patch I've created only patches the relevant files for MARC21.. though I imagine it's very simple to also patch the ones for UNIMARC.

Martin or Ian, maybe you can test this patch on one of your installations too?
Comment 12 Martin Renvoize 2013-03-04 21:39:21 UTC
I'll also test this one tomorrow... would be nice to get the any index all working properly!

Comment 13 Galen Charlton 2013-03-04 22:49:11 UTC
In my testing, the bug appeared if the -x option to rebuild_zebra.pl was omitted -- i.e., searching by barcode-as-keyword didn't work then.  If one of the affected records was reindexed with the -x option, it worked.

I am inclined to pass this QA as we have another sign-off from Galen - RM?
