Ah, just realized again that qq($QParser = C4::Context->queryparser if (C4::Context->preference('UseQueryParser') && ! ($query =~ m/\w,\w|\w=\w/));) won't work in C4::Matcher because there's no $query. The only equivalent of that would be to check all the $matchpoint->{'index'} fields in the $self->{'matchpoints'} arrayref. Which we might have to do because the QueryParser doesn't seem to be able to handle the "index,phr" (ie "qualifier,qualifier") format. That's verified by the fact that C4::Search::SimpleSearch is doing that regex. Sure, we could just not use a list of qualifiers for a Record Matching Rule index, but then we have no control over what index register we're using and that's also a problem.

There's currently no way to search an index with the "url" (ie "u") register. A URL is stored "as is" in that index, but all our Koha search methods use s/:/=/g or s/=/:/g and that plays havoc with the URLs used in a search query, which makes the match fail against the indexed URL. C4::Matcher::get_matches() strips spaces and punctuation, so I've added a "none" or "raw" normalizer that performs no normalization, but C4::Search::SimpleSearch() does that global replacement for ":" and "=" (depending on your QueryParser settings and what qualifiers you've specified in your Record Matching Rules). I thought about adding a "skip normalization" flag to C4::Search::SimpleSearch, but that doesn't work because C4::Matcher uses : for QueryParser and = for non-QueryParser. except C4::Search::SimpleSearch() deactivates QueryParser mode if you have a "index,phr" set of qualifiers. which means that you get a ":" when you need a "=" for the non-QueryParser CCL query. I suppose the solution might be the following: Current Matcher.pm: $QParser = C4::Context->queryparser if (C4::Context->preference('UseQueryParser')); Current Search.pm $QParser = C4::Context->queryparser if (C4::Context->preference('UseQueryParser') && ! ($query =~ m/\w,\w|\w=\w/)); Future Matcher.pm: $QParser = C4::Context->queryparser if (C4::Context->preference('UseQueryParser') && ! ($query =~ m/\w,\w|\w=\w/)); If I just have that conditional the same in both Search.pm and Matcher.pm. then maybe a "skip_normalization" flag in SimpleSearch() would work. I might try that in a minute. but opening it up because I could really use a hand with this. David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo, NSW 2007
