I can confirm this bug. I tried a couple of searches in some test sites and
came up with examples that lead me to believe that it might be a problem with 
truncation.

I should start by mentioning that the staff search module and OPAC give the
same amount of results. What's seems to be the problem, is that the cataloging
module doesn't give search results for truncated terms.

Ex: Staff search/OPAC will give more results than the cataloging module when we
use the search term "Quebec".

That's because the staff search will automatically find terms like "Quebecois",
"Quebecoise" and "Quebecoises". I came up with the same problem when I tried
searching for "revolution" and found "revolutionnaire" in the OPAC but not in
the cataloging module.

So it seems that the cataloging modules only gives results for exact terms.


P.S. No comments on why I choose those terms. They simply were the best
examples I came up with. Don't go off thinking I'm planning something. :-)
