https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32937 Bug ID: 32937 Summary: copyright symbol Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 21.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: ashley.day@rcm.ac.uk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Our library includes the copyright symbol when cataloguing the publication date (264$c) according to RDA 2.11.1.3. Searching dates as free text (not using the advanced date search) is an issue for us in both the opac and staff interface. Koha is not pulling all possible results because we are using the copyright symbol in the record. I've been advised that Koha treats ©2023 and 2023 as two different words. Of course when adding the copyright symbol to the date to the general search, the correct number of results are shown. We don't want to require a user to know alt codes to produce a copyright symbol, and many students simply are not going to use an advanced date search. Is it possible for KOHA to have the ability to ignore a copyright symbol in 264c for free text searching and return search results based on the date alone? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
