<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi.<br>
Going forward we expect to use DOM and ICU with MARC21. Broadly
we are getting good behaviour. However at present searching
authorities gives the same results for "starts with" and
"contains". On some installations we have that are older versions
of zebra and Koha and probably not using DOM or ICU the two
authority searches do give results that are more-expected.<br>
Colin has been trying to track down why "starts with" is treated
the same as "contains", but it would be good to have this resolved
so we are improving searching for all and not breaking existing
functions. If anyone can shine any light on this problem or a
solution that would be most helpful.<br>
+1 for the roadmap.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to have a discussion regarding making certain
options the default for new installations of Koha 3.14 and
deprecating other options. Here's the list of proposals:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Enable DOM mode by default for both bibs and authorities</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now that MARC21, NORMARC, and UNIMARC have DOM indexing
configurations available, this is now possible.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Deprecating the GRS-1 filter</div>
<div>-----------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Giving that DOM has significant advantages of GRS-1 in its
flexibility, and as the DOM filter would be required for
non-MARC metadata support by Zebra, I propose that we announce
a deprecation of the GRS-1 configuration with it to be removed
by 3.16. I foresee several features coming down the pike for
3.16 that would require a reindexing during upgrade anyway, so
switching to DOM for 3.16 would not impose a burden that
wouldn't be present anyway.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Enable QueryParser by default</div>
<div>---------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bug 10542 might be a blocker for this, and doing something
about bug 10831 would be nice in order to do this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Deprecating non-QueryParser mode</div>
<div>---------------------------------------------------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Removing the non-QueryParser code would go a long way
towards easing the rewrite of C4::Search.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Enable ICU by default</div>
<div>-------------------------------</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This was discussed during hackfest. One precondition I
see is that bug 10729 would have to pass QA</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div><br>
