[Koha-devel] Searching with the question mark wildcard

[Francois Charbonnier]

Hello,

Has anyone tried to implement the question mark (?) wildcard ?

The documentation says "Two of the wildcard characters that can be used 
in Koha searches are the asterisk ('*') and the percent sign ('%'). 
However, these two characters act differently when used in searching." 
(http://manual.koha-community.org/3.22/en/searchfaq.html)

But, CQL also supports the question mark wildcard "? : Matches any 
single character, so that c?t will match any of the words cat, cot or 
cut, but /not/ coat or indeed ct." (http://zing.z3950.org/cql/intro.html#6)

We are currently evaluating this implementation. If you already tried, 
your feebacks will be appreciated. And, any advice on how you'll do it 
will be welcome as well!

Thanks!
