           Summary: authority ($a) searching
           Product: Koha

          Platform: PC

            Status: NEW

[17:31] <hdl> When searching on heading ($a) only,
[17:32] <hdl> koha cannot make difference between heading $a data  and heading
data
[17:32] <hdl> let's take an exemple
[17:32] <hdl> Paul can be a name and a surname.
[17:33] <hdl> If i am looking for Paul, Family name only, I donot want to have
those whose first name is paul
[17:34] <hdl> This will happen for you too : John or Smith...
[17:34] <gmcharlt> surname and forename are in separate subfields in UNIMARC
headings, right?
[17:34] <paul> gmcharlt: yes, right surname is $a and firstname in $b
[17:36] <gmcharlt> hdl, paul: yes, it looks like all authority searches are
defaulting to a "contains" in the entire heading
[17:37] <hdl> gmcharlt: worse.
[17:37] <hdl> I had created Heading  for $a and Heading-Entity for the rest.
[17:37] <hdl> But it has been removed some day.
[17:38] <hdl> So that we have the same index for Heading $a and the rest.
