[Koha] searching error (koha 25.05.06)

[David Liddle]

Hi Erlanda, I have a few questions about the situation you've described:

   - Does this issue have a connection with your earlier message on 13
   January about indexing field 653?
   - In your recent messages on this topic, you have mentioned using both
   "subject" and "item type" in an advanced search.
      - Do the searches on "subject" for your three types relate to your
      use of field 653? If so, did you configure indexing of that field before
      and/or after the upgrade?
   - Have you used SQL reports to verify that searches using either of
   those criteria (i.e. subject, item type) should produce the expected
   results?
      - Similar to Anke's suggestion, it may be good to double-check what
      is configured and what appears in the data for those entries and items.
      Others may have more specific ideas.

Regards,

David Liddle
