             Bug #: 6510
           Summary: "Sort by" in intranet search alters search and number
                    of hits
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: rel_3_6
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Searching

An example: 

* Simple search for "jones" in the intranet gives: 

search.pl?q=jones
55 result(s) found for 'kw,wrdl: jones' in Koha Catalog.

Reordering by e.g. "Title (A-Z)" gives: 

search.pl?x=kw&q=jones&sort_by=title_az
55 result(s) found for 'kw,wrdl: jones' in Koha Catalog.

* Advanced search for "jones" in the default field ("Keyword") gives: 

search.pl?idx=kw&q=jones&idx=kw&idx=kw&sort_by=relevance
55 result(s) found for 'kw,wrdl: jones' in SKSK Catalog.

Reordering by "Title (A-Z)" gives: 

search.pl?x=kw&q=jones&sort_by=title_az
55 result(s) found for 'kw,wrdl: jones' in SKSK Catalog.

idx=kw is turned into x=kw, but we still get the same number of results. 

* Choosing "Author" as the index to search, and then searching for "jones"
gives:

search.pl?idx=au&q=jones&idx=kw&idx=kw&sort_by=relevance
41 result(s) found for 'au,wrdl: jones' in SKSK Catalog. 

And here is the biggie, reordering by "Title (A-Z)" gives:

search.pl?x=au&q=jones&sort_by=title_az
55 result(s) found for 'kw,wrdl: jones' in SKSK Catalog.

Choosing a different sort criteria results in a different number of hits,
presumably because idx=au has been turned into x=au.

Searching for "jones" as "Author" and choosing to sort by "Title (A-Z)" on the
advanced search page does gives the expected result: 

search.pl?idx=au&q=jones&idx=kw&idx=kw&sort_by=title_az
41 result(s) found for 'au,wrdl: jones' in SKSK Catalog.

The same thing seems to hapen no matter what index you choose to limit your
search to, and what criteria you choose to sort on. So why does re-sorting turn
idx into x?
