Page with "see also" links ("Voir aussi :")

It's probably a minor bug. If you make a search with this author, your search
will normally give you the records linked to the pseudonyms of the name. But in
our searches, these pseudonyms records don't appear in the results of an author
search even if the links "see also" were created previously.

I will take an example that almost all of us will know. The author of Harry
Potter wrote under many names : Robert Galbraith, Newt Scamander and
Kennilworthy Whisp.

All these names are normally linked between them by a "see also" mention. (The
link must be done previously during cataloging. Sadly, not so many of us did
all this up here.)

Here is the way to check if you have links "see also" already created.

1) In an OPAC, make a search with J. K. Rowling
2) Observe that all results are directly related to J. K. Rowling
3) Clic on a book writen by this author (not a movie)
4) Just under the title of the record, you have the mention "author" with a
magnifying glass, clic on the magnifying glass
5) You will see all forms the name can take and under we have the "see also"
mentions (if created)
6) If they are created, you can clic normally on these names.
7) A page appears with a mention something like "Authorities search results"
(we have it in french)
8) In the third column of the board, it's indicated "Bibliographic records",
you can clic on the results just under ("x documents")
9) In my particulary case, I took Robert Galbraith for which we have 3 records
(maybe they are more) : Career of evil, Silkworm and Cuckoo's calling.
10) If I return to my first results for J. K. Rowling, I cannot see these three
books anywhere...

Records with a pseudonym name (in the "see also" links) should appear in the
record results of an author. Some people here suggest to create a system
preference like "IncludeSeeFromInSearches" to find the records in the "see
also" links.

Thanks,

Alexandre from CCSR
