It would be good to give folks the option on install, Zebra or Solr. Would lead to a more modular design, and give folks more control over their system. Of course, that would introduce yet another layer of complexity when troubleshooting search bugs, but I think that's an acceptable trade off. D

I like the idea that developers have had on the Koha IRC chanel - to replace Zebra is Solr -- that would probably solve this problem as well! Nicole On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 8:19 AM, Ian Walls wrote: > It seems like it might be a good idea to parse the search string > provided by the user (in "Goo

It seems like it might be a good idea to parse the search string provided by the user (in "Googlese") into Zebra's prefix system. Not only could we handle phrase searching, but we could do a host of other translations (&'s give us some escapement craziness, if I recall). We could also do things l

Hmm, I see that you can do a keyword phrase search with kw,phr= or a title phrase search with ti,phr=. Cool! I wonder, could a bit of code be added to the search module to automatically translate a string in quotes to one of those? Cindy Cindy Murdock Ames wrote: > Thanks, Nicole. I couldn'

Thanks, Nicole. I couldn't see it because my syspref for "expandedSearchOption" was set to "don't show". And thanks for the link to the search docs...I didn't know about the search prefixes. :) I agree with Kyle, though...it would be nice if we could do phrase searching with quotes. Cheers,

It would be really nice if Koha supported general phrase searches like search engines do. Search for "World Book" with quotes around it should not give the same results as searching for it without quotes. Kyle http://www.kylehall.info Information Technology Crawford County Federated Library Syste

2010-02-26 Thread Cindy Murdock Ames
Hi all, Is there a way to search for phrases in the Koha catalog, or to make Koha rank phrases higher than other search results by default? For example, if I search for "world book", in the expectation of finding World Book Encyclopedia, I get a vast number of search results (about 3,400), be
