Last year I upgraded my library to Koha 3.14 with the help of an excellent and reasonably priced vendor. It has made using Koha much better. I've had a few complaints, though about the searching of the catalog. After investigation, I think I understand the complaint. If you're searching for a book "The last detail" the search returns everything with the words "the", "last" "detail" with no particular attention to priority. In other words the book "the last detail" will appear but maybe on page 12 of the results. I would like to modify the search algorithm so that the first returned results is when the words searched appear all together. Can anyone give me any hints on how to modify the search engine? Thanks, Phillip

Use the DOM filter in Zebra: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Switching_to_dom_indexing Perform a Title search rather than a keyword search. Sort by Relevance. I hope this helps.

summary showing in the OPAC search results page
by Heidi Addy 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi, I'd like to have my summaries (520 field) show on the initial OPAC search results page. If summaries can show, does this have to be universal or could I apply it to just my Archives? I didn't know if it was under "OPAC preferences" - "OPAC appearance"… Thanks, Heidi

links in the 856 field
by Heidi Addy 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi, How do I set the permissions behind a link that's added to the 856 field? We want these links to ONLY be accessed through our Koha site. I have a large archival collection that I want to be available through an online link. They will be collections of photographs, scanned documents, or digitized AV materials. Thanks, Heidi
