--- Comment #1 from Martin Renvoize (ashimema)

Posting the overall plan this bug fits into, for anyone landing here from Bug
25870 or Bug 27113.
The goal is a modern, decoupled search architecture for Koha: a dedicated
/search endpoint using a Lucene-style query language (matching what
Elasticsearch's own query_string handler already speaks natively), instead of
overloading /biblios with a CCL query parameter. This is being built as a small
chain of focused bugs rather than one large patch, so each piece can be
reviewed and can land independently, and so Elasticsearch progress is not held
hostage to Zebra parity (nor is Zebra being dropped outright) - the
disagreement that has kept Bug 25870 stuck for six years.
The chain, in dependency order:
Bug 42835 (ElasticSearch should have an items index) and Bug 43151 (ES should
apply search filters on each item discretely) - prerequisite infrastructure
already in the pipeline independently of this program. A real per-item
Elasticsearch index and the query mechanism for correctly correlating multiple
item-level fields to the same item. Everything below depends on these landing.
Bug 35052 (OpacHiddenItemsHidesRecord ... at index time) - submitted. Moves
OpacHiddenItems/OpacHiddenItemsHidesRecord/OpacHiddenItemsExceptions
enforcement from post-search-result processing to query time, using Bug 43151's
items-index query mechanism. This fixes the actual reported bug (wrong
pagination, wrong total-hit counts when hidden records are interspersed in a
result set), and is also the correctness gap that failed QA on the original
q_ccl patch for this bug - so it's foundational to doing a public /search route
properly, not just a nice-to-have.
Bug 43355 (this bug) - the core architecture: the Lucene query language, its
AST, the /search and /public/search REST endpoints (GET and POST), curated
index-derived result summaries (including real availability data from the items
index, no DB round-trip needed), and facets, backed by Elasticsearch.
Bug 43358 (Zebra: add a reduced-parity Lucene query translation layer) -
depends on this bug. Zebra gets a real, documented, permanently reduced-parity
implementation (basic Lucene syntax translated to PQF/CCL) rather than either
blocking this bug or being abandoned. Zebra cannot index items separately or
join bibs/items, so combined item-level filter correctness, facet accuracy
against those filters, and query-time OpacHiddenItems enforcement stay
Elasticsearch-only for Zebra installations, falling back to today's existing
behaviour for those specific concerns.
Bug 43359 (Migrate opac-search.pl to use the new /search architecture) -
depends on this bug. Puts OPAC web search on the same code path as the new API,
so results never diverge between the two - the divergence problem David Cook
raised on Bug 25870.
Bug 43360 (Wire the advanced search form to build Lucene queries) - depends on
this bug. Retires the legacy internal query parameter format in favour of the
same Lucene syntax the API uses, so there's one query language to maintain, not
two.
Once this bug lands, Bug 27113 (Elasticsearch: Autocomplete in search) should
be able to build directly on the /search endpoint rather than staying blocked
on the CCL approach.
Full design notes and the cross-cutting decisions this program is built on
(query syntax, route naming, result shape, facets scope, Zebra policy) are kept
alongside the work rather than in Bugzilla; happy to share them if useful to
reviewers.
