https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43498 Bug ID: 43498 Summary: UNIMARC: authority search returns no results when the authority type is only in 942$a Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Zebra Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kdask@altsol.gr QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Depends on: 41795 Target Milestone: --- Bug 41795 added the completeness attribute (@attr 6=3) to the authtype clause in C4::AuthoritiesMarc::SearchAuthorities. Complete-field matching resolves against Zebra's phrase ('p') register. The UNIMARC authority index definitions build the authtype index from two places: - 152$b -> authtype:w authtype:p - 942$a -> authtype:w (word register only) On UNIMARC installations whose authority records carry the authority type in 942$a only (no 152 coded data field -- common in real-world UNIMARC sites), the authtype phrase register is empty, so every type-filtered authority search returns zero results. In particular, the authority finder launched from the bibliographic editor (e.g. on field 600) always passes an authtypecode, so cataloguers cannot search or link authorities at all. We hit this on three independent production UNIMARC installations (different servers, different Koha and Zebra builds) immediately after upgrading to releases containing Bug 41795 (26.05.00 / 25.11.05). On all of them nearly all authority records have the type in 942$a and no 152$b. Reproduced on current main with KTD (unimarc flavour, Zebra 2.2.8): 1) Create an authority whose type is in 942$a only; full authorities reindex. 2) Authority search with a type filter -> 0 results; the same search without a type filter finds the record. 3) yaz-client against the authority socket confirms the mechanism: @attr 1=authtype @attr 5=100 @attr 6=3 <value> -> 0 hits @attr 1=authtype @attr 5=100 <value> -> 1 hit The Bug 41795 follow-up ("add a phrase Zebra index for 'authtype'") fixed exactly this for MARC21 after the Jenkins failures, but the UNIMARC definitions were not updated (their 152$b block already had a :p index, which masked the 942$a case). The patch (to be attached) applies the same one-line change to the UNIMARC definitions: add authtype:p to the 942$a block in authority-koha-indexdefs.xml, with the regenerated authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl. A full authorities reindex is required after applying -- worth flagging prominently if this gets backported (cf. Bug 41795 comment 19). Elasticsearch is not affected.
