Hi,
I want to share a work with you. I knew we can now switch
SearchEngine syspref to ElasticSearch in Koha community
version, but I didn't know a lot more. I explored with some
BibLibre guys what we can really do, if we can propose this
feature to our users. It seems there is some work to do but
it would be great to have a more solid version for 18.05 if
we test and fix more things, a version for early adopters
who want to try it in production.
Notes
about tabs:
- Way to
18.05 : I wanted it "macro functionnal", but currently it
lists features or issues that may be too small. I tried to
evaluate the work in "complexity point", "1" can be one
developper day or maybe more or less;
-
Questions : can be used as a faq, I dropped my questions,
sometimes I answered myself and other time someone else
answered me;
-
Queries and behaviours : we did a lot of work to implement
Solr in Koha (at BibLibre, it begun in 2011) and an advanced
search version is always maintained. I think it can be
asked, so I pasted a list of queries we work with, it is
expected to be different, it is just examples;

Please,
feel free to read, add lines, add questions or whatever. I
am often available on #koha (@clrh).
