[Koha-devel] Bugs related to Zebra indexing for Unimarc

[Mathieu Saby]

Hi

Some time ago I wrote a few patchs for making unimarc indexing more 
precise, especially 7XX and 6XX fields.
One has just been signed off by Nick Clemens (thanks!), a MARC21 librarian.
Could some UNIMARC people make the QA for it?
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9828 (for 6XX 
fields: subjects)

During the test, we discovered that it was not possible to index some 
fields depending on the value of MARC indicators. It would be a nice 
improvement, so I created a bug for that (but I won't work on it...)
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12813

He was about to sign the 2d patch about 7XX fields (authors)
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9352
But there is an issue that I am not sure to be able to fix:
The patch index only relevant subfields in author index (so, no more the 
profession of the author, its date, or its address, because those 
information are not here to be searched by users, but to disambiguate 
authors).
As a result, each subfield is indexed separately in "phr" and "word" 
index. So the complete name is no more searchable with "au:phr" index
Ex :
in master, you can retreive a record with "Doe John" in "au:phr" index 
if you have 700$aDoe$bJohn
with the patch, you get 0 record

I don't want to spend days on that... so do you know if the problem 
occurs also for MARC21? Is there a way to resolve it by using some 
(new?) template in *koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl ?
