             Bug #: 5810
           Summary: Subject tracings should search complete subfields
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: OPAC
        AssignedTo: jcamins at cpbibliography.com
        ReportedBy: jcamins at cpbibliography.com
         QAContact: koha-bugs at lists.koha-community.org


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.

This should ideally be controlled by a syspref so those libraries which want
the current behavior can keep it.
