[Koha-devel] Formatting control number searches

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Barton,

Control-number is the index on 001. 001 should have the number and 003 
the MarcOrgCode, that's why it's stripped from $w for search. I don't 
know about OCLCs practices, so can't tell how numbers are handled there. 
The examples here show a number with ocm in 001:

http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html

The description for $w 
(http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd76x78x.html) doesn't have a 
matching example:

"System control number of the related record preceded by the MARC code, 
enclosed in parentheses, for the agency to which the control number 
applies."

Hope this helps,

Katrin
