[Koha-devel] Subject tracings

[Jared Camins-Esakov]

Hello.

Can anyone think of any reason not to specify that subject tracings should
match only complete subfields? For example, 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. Thoughts?

Regards,
Jared
