Chris, We've talked it over, and we would like to try writing a patch for this,
if there is no objection from the community.
Thanks. Linda
Hi Linda That's fantastic, and worst come to worst if ppl do want the wordlist behaviour we can make it a systempreference so ppl can choose that, but I think phrase for callnumber always makes sense. Feel free to ask on koha-devel or on irc for help if you need and again a big yay! Chris

All, I've taken advice from the Koha group and enlisted the assistance of the staff  in helping me find problems in Koha.  One of the things we
discovered in our version 3.4.1, is that the search for call number searches by word  ( callnum,wrdl ) when what we think we need is callnum,phr .
The callnum,wrdl  works as is as long as there are no spaces.PI/1985.0031 works.  920/M69b  pulls up that call number but
also
920/M69ba and 920/M69bi  (which to me is okay, because the 920/M69b is first)  But a search for Series 21 pulls up "Series 410/Roll 2164" as
well as "Series 21" and "Series 21/Yazoo County"
I know how to change it in the template, but is that what I should be doing?
IANAC (I am not a Cataloguer) but phrase makes more sense to me. As long as it supports right truncation. Which looking at your example it appears to do.
I think this could be your first patch to Koha, Linda :)
