Query terms truncated
by Stacy Pober 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

We are using Koha version 3.01.00.037 with LibLime Enterprise Koha build: 4.0000010. We have QueryFuzzy, QueryStemming and QueryAutoTruncate all set to OFF but the truncation still seems to be happening in every search. Is there another setting to suppress trunction of search terms that I may be missing? Also, title searches seem to be searching the MARC 505 notes field, which includes the titles of each chapter, rather than the title for the work as a whole. Is this a behavior that can be altered? In most library catalog systems, a title search does not search in the table of contents/notes fields. Examples: A title search for: will of god brings up records which do not have either the word will nor the word god in the record. "No Other Book" <http://man.waldo.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=1…> which has William and Goddess in the notes fields. and "A godly hero : the life of William Jennings Bryan" <http://man.waldo.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2…> I hope that this is an issue someone on this list can help me with, as I have been unable to get an answer from LibLime after multiple inquiries. -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober(a)manhattan.edu

Stopwords and Zebra
by Stacy Pober 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

We are using Koha version 3.01.00.037 with LibLime Enterprise Koha build: 4.0000010. We would like to use stopwords for our catalog searching. When I inquired to LibLime about this function, I was told: "With Zebra providing the search functionality, removing these words before submitting the query will have no performance benefit, and will only harm the relevance ranking." and later, "The Zebra indexing provides the search functionality and so should not be turned off. Given that, the stopwords are ignored; there is no way to change this." However, someone using the open source version of Koha told me that there was a way to implement a stopword list with the Zebra indexing. How is it done? -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober(a)manhattan.edu

Prevent Staff Login?
by Marcel de Rooy 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, Is it possible in Koha 3 to prevent staff users to login to the staff client? Something just like setting OpacMaintenance to 1 in order to prevent opac access. Thanks, Marcel

Re: [Koha] Migrating, analyticals and MARC frameworks
by Patrick - Biblioteca Casa Balthasar 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

No problem Elaine, I really couldn't say if you've missed something, as far as I can remember this worked out of the box for us (3.0.2). One thing I just noticed, and that may explain your problem, is that this does work out of the box in the OPAC client, but it is not displayed in the detail view of the staff client. I believe you'd have to customize your xslt templates to make this display in the staff. Also, the biblio number to use is the biblio number internal to Koha, that is displayed in the URL in the biblio detail view or in the MARC view from the staff client after 'MARC biblio :'. Below is the MARC from a couple of biblios, one a parent (which in turn has it's own parent) and one of it's child biblios: PS. Don't forget to reply to the whole list.
