https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28884 Bug ID: 28884 Summary: ElasticSearch: Question mark in title search returns no results Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 20.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Elasticsearch Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: jyorio@equinoxinitiative.org When searching for a title with a question mark, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? for example, Koha returns no results with ElasticSearch. Removing the question mark or escaping it retrieves results, as does enclosing the entire title with the question mark in quotes. Since ? is a wildcard for ElasticSearch, this may be expected behavior (I'm not sure that it is or isn't), but explaining to patrons that they need to change their search behavior can be a big ask for libraries. Not sure what the best option is. Perhaps a system preference to automatically escape ? and not treat it as a wildcard for those libraries who would prefer that? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
