[Bug 629] New: confusing search results/inconsistent details views
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=629 Summary: confusing search results/inconsistent details views Product: Koha Version: 2.0.0 Platform: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: OPAC AssignedTo: chris@katipo.co.nz ReportedBy: ewan@cs.auckland.ac.nz QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net keyword search looks at the notes and seriestitle fields of biblio (possibly others). opac-details.pl doesn't show those fields. This means that a patron can do a search, get a hit, but on looking at the details of the hit have no idea why (because the match occurred on fields the patron can't see). At minimum, this will be confusing. It may also result in reports of "bugs in searching" (or worse, a low opinion of koha). Note that at the moment (I believe) keyword search in opac and intranet return identical results. However they show different details. In particular, intranet shows the notes and seriestitle fields. I think the question is whether or not to show all the fields that keyword search looks at. For seriestitle, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be shown, but the notes field is less clear. I've only got the sampledata to work from, and some of what appears in those notes fields doesn't look like information intended for patrons. Alternatively, opac and intranet keyword search could return different results. Or even, intranet search could have two kinds of keyword search. Whatever, this probably needs to be resolved at some point, although it's probably not necessary to have done so for the 2.0.0 release. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
