            Bug ID: 19905
           Summary: Don't append wildcard to query terms
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: Searching - Elasticsearch

Discovered this issue while testing the search links in biblio-details. The
links are hard-coded in the template with queries not using quotes for field
values, which makes QueryBuilder::_truncate_terms append '*' to the search
term. Since wild card searches skips the analyzer-phase, most of our links does
not work (since a lot of field values has word boundaries and/or punctuation
marks, for example the query "Provider:Taschen," will be converted to
"Provider:Taschen,*" and since the indexed value for Provider is "Taschen" this
search will produce no results.

In my opinion (if I'm not misunderstanding the purpose of this code) appending
'*' to words should be removed.
