Hello. As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha's search code so that it is more palatable than a plate of burned nine-day-old spaghetti. The initial part of the development is nearing completion, and I look forward to submitting a patch to the community for sign off[1]. In the course of the first section of the development, I have run into an interesting question. We currently support greater than and less than operators in our searches, but I cannot think of anywhere we might want to use them other than with dates. Does anyone have any scenarios where a greater than/less than operator would actually be useful in a bibliographic or authority search (other than in date searches)? Regards, Jared [1] If you're interested in seeing my work so far, the search rewrite branch in my public repo has all the code: http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_rew... The RFC is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C_%26_P_Search_Rewrite_RFCand I would still welcome any and all comments. -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C & P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcamins@cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/

Some ideas : - Duration (for audiobooks, DVD,...) - File size (for electronic ressources) - Number of pages of printed books Regards, Alex -- Association BrailleNet Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Boîte 23 9 quai Saint-Bernard 75252 Paris Cedex 05 Tél. + 33 1 44 27 36 05 Fax + 33 1 44 27 34 49
