https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28117 Bug ID: 28117 Summary: Provide a way to strip special characters for placeholders in OPACOPACSearchForTitleIn Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 20.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: eugenegf@yahoo.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Created attachment 119342 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=119342&action=edit OPACSearchForTitleIn In OPACSearchForTitleIn, we give a way for OPAC users to search for similar materials in other libraries. Placeholders available are: {BIBLIONUMBER}, {CONTROLNUMBER}, {TITLE}, {ISBN}, {ISSN} and {AUTHOR}. If for example the author is a conference name, this would mean this placeholder will have extra characters like open and close parenthesis: "(" ")" and semi-colons. If this search query will be passed to InternetArchive Scholar, it will have a query parser error because the query format is like below: author:('query search') So if the author is "Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission (1961: Manila)", the corresponding search query will be: author:('Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission "(1961:" Manila)') So I propose for a new system preference that will let you add special characters to ignore for placeholders. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
