[Koha-devel] OPAC Search

[Marcel de Rooy]

Hi all,

As I understand [..], Koha 3.0 stable does not let me find records linked to a specific term, if I search on an unauthorized form of this term in the OPAC. (At least, when the wrong term differs so much that fuzzy search does not include it.)

If that assumption is correct [and I did not miss something here], is such a feature ever evaluated by the Koha developers? What makes it hard to implement? Are you aware of any negative side-effects?

Simple example to illustrate this point:

Bibliographic record 1         BOOK 100 Author 245 Title 650=Test [linked to authid 1]
Authority record 1             ESTABL. TERM 150 Test 450 Oldtezt
Optionally: Auth rec 2        TRACED REF 150 Oldtezt 260 Test

When searching the OPAC, I would like my user to find book 1 when typing Oldtezt in the search bar.

Your response is most welcome.

Thanks,

Marcel de Rooy
