https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32578 Bug ID: 32578 Summary: Wildcard searches do not work with asterisk Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 22.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: estherm@sodaspringsid.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org This bug is split off from bug 32491 and this is what I reported there: Prior to our upgrade to 22.05, we could do searches like 2913*3456 and have it return results. After the upgrade this no longer works. The % wildcard appears to work in the search example above. However the % as a wildcard is odd when compared with how other search indexes work. Most major search engines use either an asterisk or a question mark. The same is true with searching indexes at Ancestry or Family Search. The asterisk replaces multiple characters and the question mark replaces a single character. Most of our staff is accustomed to using an asterisk and trying to adapt to a different nomenclature and keyboard position has proven difficult. Since the asterisk worked prior to 22.05, it would be nice to return that functionality. Also Lucas Gass reported: This also effects wildcard searches. Previously you could search for a cardnumber like '2913*' and that would return all patrons with cardnumbers starting with '2913'. Now it tries searching for the exact match '2352*' and returns nothing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
