When doing an initial search, I'd recommend we stay with the current set up (more results is better, as they can be narrowed with the filters), but if you're clicking the subject tracing on a specific record (or on one of the filters), yes, I think it should be forced to completeness. You want precisely _that thing_. You're seeking, rather than searching. We could also apply this to names and series entries in a similar fashion. My understanding is that this completeness is on a subfield-level only; so clicking the tracing for "Religion -- Europe" would generate the search "su,complete-subfield:Religion AND su,complete-subfield:Europe", still retrieving more records (like those with two headings, "Religion" and "Christianity -- Europe -- 19th Century") Is my understanding correct? -Ian On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 5:18 AM, LAURENT Henri-Damien < henridamien.laurent@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello.
Can anyone think of any reason not to specify that subject tracings should match only complete subfields? Hi, I agree too. Note that completeness is not always enabled by default on the zebra configuration. With our default configuration, it would be available for :p indexes only. Hope that helps. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
For example, at the moment, if you are looking at a book about Religions (with a subject term "Religions") in the catalog of a library that does not use Koha's authority control, when you click on the subject tracing in the OPAC, you will be given a result set that contains every single record that has the word "Religions" anywhere in its subject. Including, for example, books with the subject "Christianity and other religions."
If we make the query on the subject tracings su,complete-subfield: the only false positives will be items where the subject heading being searched is used for both a main entry and a subdivision, which still seems like a significant improvement over the current behavior. Thoughts?
