We've noticed what appears to be incorrect returns in a matches exactly title search in 2.5.1. Before I open a bug report, I wanted to check if this is a bug or something else.
In the PINES database test server running 2.5.1, a title contains search for joy of cooking retrieves 56 titles, 36 of which contain the phrase "joy of cooking" in the 245 (main title) field. They include: Joy of cooking All new all purpose joy of cooking Joy of cooking. |p All about party foods & drinks Joy of cooking. |p All about pies & tarts Joy of cooking. |p All about canning & preserving The joy of cooking : |b a compilation of reliable recipes with a casual culinary chat The joy of cooking Christmas cookies Stand facing the stove : the story of the women who gave America the Joy of cooking A matches exactly title search for joy of cooking only retrieves 17 titles. The search results showing just titles for illustration are: 1. Joy of cooking 2. Joy of cooking 3. Joy of cooking 4. Joy of cooking 5. Joy of cooking 6. Joy of cooking 7. Joy of cooking 8. Joy of cooking 9. Joy of cooking. 10. Joy of cooking 11. Joy of cooking 12. Joy of Cooking. 13. Joy of cooking 14. Joy of cooking 15. Joy of cooking. 16. Joy of cooking. |p All about vegetarian cooking 17. JOY OF COOKING. As you can see, with the one exception, the search is only retrieving one record where the title contains subfield p, however there are a number of titles in the contains search with |a Joy of cooking. and a |p. Also, with that one exception, no title containing the phrase "joy of cooking" in either the 245 |a or |b along with other words or phrases is retrieved. We did reindex Joy of cooking. |p All about pies & tarts to see if that was the issue, but it was not retrieved in a subsequent search. To me, this is a bug, or at least not expected behavior. Before I create a launchpad report, I wanted to check to see if I was missing something or there was another, fixable, explanation we have not considered. Elaine J.
