[Bug 30533] New: Add exact search option for patrons
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30533 Bug ID: 30533 Summary: Add exact search option for patrons Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com A patron search for names like "JOHN JOHNSON" ends up getting parsed something like "WHERE surname like "%JOHN%" OR firstname like "%JOHN%" OR surname like "%JOHNSON%" OR firstname like "%JOHNSON%"" and finds a really unhelpfully large pile of patrons. Bug 17500 suggests implementing Elastic for patron searching, which would be great. In the meantime, we could give a little help for searches like this by giving an exact search option -- so the query would parse more or less the same but without the wildcards. That's also a problematic search for many situations, but would work better here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

If only one partial match was found, the partial match should not be viewed directly in moremember.pl, but in a list view as they would if more than one match was found (members-home.pl search result list view). The list view could be clearly stating "Only partial matches found:" to underline the fact than no exact hits were found if there was just one or more than one partial hit. Just the functionality to not take the user to a partial match's detail page would result in less errors when finding patrons with similar names. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30533 --- Comment #4 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- Having an exact search option would be helpful for big databases, but I am not sure making it the default will work well. Ideally maybe we could "rank" exact results higher or leave the choice for default to the library. Names are handled differently in countries, often being composed from multiple parts, so search behavior might vary quite a bit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
