Custom Search Engine for Koha
by Lori Bowen Ayre 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Has anyone set up a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) for all things Koha so that users have one place to search that will get them access to PDFs of the manual plus the mailing list archives plus the great stuff on the NEKLS site and Owen's blog...just to name a few key spots. Just wondering if there is such a thing sitting out there already and I just don't know about it. Lori Ayre

Hello, I wonder if is possible to set permissions for a user that it can only manage the branch that is associated? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks, Luís Silva

Thanks & question re: special character
by Amy Schuler 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hello, First I would like to say thanks to Savitra and Greg for responding to my question this week about relevance ranking. Savitra's suggestion to disable sys pref QueryAutoTruncate made a big difference. Search results are much better since I followed that advice! Here is something I just now (!) came across. I have 919 records with ampersands that render in HTML code, "&". Does this require that I fix all 919 records or is there an easier database-level solution? I really cannot believe I did not notice this before now : / My tech support specialist wonders whether it is a reserved character in Koha, but I do not know. Thanks!

Global editing of items
by makekee＠msu.ac.zw 18 Nov '10

Hi All I have imported 1 record with 80 holdings/items. I would like to globally edit some of the fields in the items all at once instead of going record by record. Is there a good way of doing this?

Koha relevance ranking
by Amy Schuler 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hello, to those of you now upgraded to 3.2, I continue to have relevance ranking issues in Koha - have you noticed this too? For instance, basic unfielded search for "models in ecosystem science" turns up multiple results for irrelevant items, with the correct item somewhere down the list. In our old catalog system, which is for the most part a piece of junk, I conduct an unfielded search for "models in ecosystem science" and I get exactly one result, for the correct item. There are many similar examples. I am running Koha v. 3.02.00.004. Do you notice relevance ranking problems? I have been monitoring this list for similar complaints, but have not seen any. Is this a problem with my installation or is it widespread? If widespread, have you come up with any workarounds? Thanks! Amy Schuler Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies

Non-public notes
by Robin Sheat 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

I have a situation where we want to have non-public notes attached to biblio records. There doesn't appear to be any way of doing this, so I was thinking of doing something along the lines of having (MARC21) 595-599 as private biblio notes, and 590-594 as public ones. I'm wondering if a) there's a better approach, and b) if this is something that would be generally useful and worth upstreaming. I think it'll take little more than a change to the XSLT/templates for the OPAC. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
