Hello Koha community! I am a new user of Koha and I would like to ask you for help in that issue:
Why the Linker, which links authority to bib-records considers only the first word in the name fields, when it check for match? Which settings I have selected wrongly? DETAILS: In my Koha 17.11 installation I have following settings in Home › Administration › Global System preferences: Genral: AutoCreateAuthorities = do not generate BiblioAddsAuthorities = allow Linker: CatalogModuleRelink = Do not LinkerKeepStale = Do not LinkerModule = Default LinkerOptions = LinkerRelink = Do The selected Search Engine is ZEBRA. EXAMPLE: For the experiment I have created 2 dummy bib-records: “My title 1” by Hoare, Charles Antony Richard and “My title 2” by Brown, Michael. Both authors names came from the Authority file. There are 4 authors in total in the Authority file: Petson, Uwe Hoare, Charles Antony Richard Brown, Sandra Brown, Michael Note, the family names of two authors match – these are Sandra Brown and Michael Brown. After running link_bibs_to_authorities.pl and rebuilding zebra indexes the authority-linker finds correctly the author of the first book “My title 1” – Charles Antony Hoare, but the authority-linker gets confused who of the Browns to link to the second book “My title 2” – Sandra or Michael! The reason is that the authority-linker looks only to the first word in the name-field, which in this case is "Brown", and therefore it “finds” 2 matching to the bib-record names! Thus, it does not link “My title 2” to any of them! How can I set the authority-linker to look to all words in name-field (100$a)? As well, of course: How can I set the authority-linker to look to all other fields related to the author (100$c, 100$d, etc.) when it tries to find a match? I could find similar question from Erlanda Simonyan (Thu Jun 29 20:24:35 NZST 2017), but I couldn't find it's answer... Thank you very much for your help!
