Hi In my cataloging module I would like to search by barcode so that it retrieves an exact copy of an item. At the moment if I search by barcode e.g. BK100, the cataloging module returns: BK100 BK1001 BK1000 BK1005 I need the system to pick the exact barcode not the way it is displaying the results. Any help will be appreciated. Ephraim Makeke Ephraim Makeke Senior Assistant Librarian - Library ICT Midlands State University Library P.

Hi Ephraim Try searching on this ccl=bc,phr=BK100 It should return just that one result. By the way, what version of Koha are you running? Chris
Hi Ephraim and Chris! I think this is a library work culture thing. Those of us who use scanners doesn't see the same way than those who type barcode character input. Chris, would you be pro a few line "Manual Barcode" patch addition to future versions?

Does anybody shed the ligh on this. bz its very important. Fwdind from the other thread: "To search exact barcode like 1, you can use asterisk before and after the barcode what you want to search. eg. *1* or *100* like. It is giving exact search results in opac and intranet.

Dear Keri, Thanks for giving a prompt reply. But your answer is not enough to resolve what my issue is. My problem is: When I try to search any multiple copy items with the same record but it reflects all copies items along with required copy; means I do not need other irrelevant copies of same record for catalogue. Please flash the light on this. Looking for best optimum answer Thanks, Bharat On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 1:18 PM, Kari Blomster < m.kirjasto.hailuoto@gmail.com> wrote:

Bharat,
When I try to search any multiple copy items with the same record but it reflects all copies items along with required copy; means I do not need other irrelevant copies of same record for catalogue.
perhaps I misunderstood you, but normally you will have 1 (one) record with many items (copies).
The result of any search is the record (with all it's items), not an individual item, even if you are searching a particular barcode. With that record you could add/modify/delete items. Bernardo
