Inventory UX

Discuss simple vs advanced search

Simple Search

Search on Locations - tricky because locations are hierarchical structure

Decision: add ability to search on null value in simple search interface

Need to be able to do an exact title search e.g. "starts with" / left-anchored

Need to be able to filter on an exact title search

Tradeoffs - if we add browse capability then we lose filters

Could we add way to search for invalid UTF-8 filters

Question: what is the best way to display results? Maybe be more a question of how to display results (rather than what's returned)

Include numbers / identifiers in simple search?

How will authority records be handled? How will we know which LCCN we are searching against?

  • Right now MARC Authority goes against MARC authority app - need examples of different types of prefixes and different types of normalization


Advanced search

  • Should include all simple search options plus additional items
  • Suggestion: have a dropdown for each of the 3 record types and then a second dropdown for the element we are looking for (e.g. permanent location in holdings, material type in item, and statistical code in Instance)
  • Idea - save query then combine with filters
  • Need ability to search by Note types
  • Need ability to save and share queries
    • If there is a query manager, need a way to track last time used, share notes on it etc to prevent clutter in large orgs
    • This would be a new app
      • As an intermediary step you could download a query from the query manager and load into an app to run query or edit it
    • Need fuzzy and near searching
    • Question: how does elastic search handle "And" from "Romeo and Juliet"
    • Wildcards
      • exists in simple search
      • have a ticket in to mask characters in advanced search (not yet implemented)
      • Should also be able to use wildcard in advanced search
      • Is there a way to escape the asterisk in search? Some collection names have asterisks.

Chat:

10:34:21 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    thank you, Caitlin, for joining MM and for taking minutes!
10:51:20 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    I would also like to filter on Library.  We have locations associated with specific branch library
10:52:04 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    both simple and advanced search would be beneficial
10:52:47 From  Alissa Hafele  to  Everyone:
    +1 We would also like to be able to facet on library or campus.
10:52:56 From  Alissa Hafele  to  Everyone:
    (Stanford)
10:56:04 From  Kimberley Nohr (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    is it possible to be able to search by field through this simple search?
10:56:12 From  Kimberley Nohr (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    MARC field.
10:56:29 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    MARC data is not indexed here
10:56:32 From  Kimberley Nohr (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    Ahh.
10:56:49 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    the search is for the instance data (or holdings or items), not underlying source
10:57:02 From  Kimberley Nohr (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    Ah. Thanks Laura.
10:57:53 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    Simple searching Instance notes and admin notes
10:58:46 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    Searching for results with the Boolean NOT can be so useful!
10:58:54 From  Sharon Wiles-Young  to  Everyone:
    sorry have to run to another meeting thanks
10:59:08 From  Jennifer Eustis (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    +1 to being able to search blanks
11:01:18 From  Christie Thomas (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    Boolean searching is definitely necessary.
11:01:52 From  Christie Thomas (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    I think that limiting Boolean operators to the advanced search is okay.
11:01:52 From  Robert rscheier@nelib.org  to  Everyone:
    +1 for searching on NULL or Empty
11:03:05 From  Stewart, Caitlin  to  Everyone:
    +1 for searching on NULL or Empty
11:03:36 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    "does not exist"
11:03:49 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    Maybe "Is Not" in the filter?
11:04:01 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    Is not XX value I meant
11:04:24 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    YES to the "blanks" filter analogy
11:04:33 From  Robert rscheier@nelib.org  to  Everyone:
    Love that filter
11:04:35 From  Stewart, Caitlin  to  Everyone:
    I am not a Search expert but I'm pulling this from our search reqs: "Call number browse must support a mechanism to display holdings where MARC 852 Indicator 1 is null or blank."
11:04:53 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    I think that is an excellent example, Christie.  I find the unexpected (needed) cleanups in that way. all too often.
11:05:09 From  Natascha Owens (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    I would like to be able to search by exact phrase in simple search
11:05:19 From  Jennifer Eustis (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    Yes!!! to cross elements
11:05:48 From  Christie Thomas (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    +1 to searching across elements and +1 to exact phrase searching.
11:05:53 From  Jackie Magagnosc  to  Everyone:
    Thank you for bringing this up Laura!
11:06:55 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    +1 Christie and Laura!
11:09:58 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    A way to search for invalid UTF8 characters!  It's a problem we have recently found and have no way to find them currently or know what the invalid character is.
11:10:45 From  Kara Hart (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    It would be nice if the browse could be filtered too
11:12:03 From  Bausenbach, Ardie  to  Everyone:
    does folio differentiate between left-match "starts with" vs browse (given that browse lists are generally not filterable since browse implies a continuous listing
11:12:59 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    yes to what Colin just said -- all types of titles need to be included!
11:18:36 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    We also use the LCCN in searches, too. So, having it in Simple Search would be helpful.
11:20:57 From  Bausenbach, Ardie  to  Everyone:
    we use info:lccn normalization for prefixes
11:22:33 From  Bausenbach, Ardie  to  Everyone:
    Ardie Bausenbach (abau@loc.gov)
11:24:49 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    I'd like to have a dropdown for each of the 3 record types and then a second dropdown for the element we are looking for.
11:25:21 From  Jennifer Eustis (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    I like that idea Lynne
11:25:23 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    Like search for permanent location in holdings, material type in item, and statistical code in Instance
11:25:28 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    I agree that all of the Simple Searches should be included in the Advanced options.  Plus multiple record types.
11:25:43 From  Kimberley Nohr (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    +1 to Lynne's suggestion.
11:26:03 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    Or, should we have the dropdown include all the types, then the AND part of the modal will pick everything up.
11:26:07 From  Bausenbach, Ardie  to  Everyone:
    Does "advanced search" imply keyword - or does it also include "starts with" and/or browse?
11:26:24 From  Amanda Scott  to  Everyone:
    For advanced search: Perhaps search by uniform title, although an exact phrase search on all titles in simple search might be sufficient.
11:27:00 From  Bausenbach, Ardie  to  Everyone:
    how will advanced search control nesting?
11:31:05 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    A way to save your advanced search query if you need it at a later date
11:32:02 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    Should be able to search unique note types created and used by specific tenants
11:39:14 From  Lisa F. (Cataloging)  to  Everyone:
    'retain last search' is something that OCLC lets you select or not.  is that also what you would like?
11:40:02 From  Jennifer Eustis (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    Yes to sharing. You could do it on the dashboard
11:40:37 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    +1 to Lloyd and Jacquie
11:41:35 From  Kara Hart (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    But if you could upload it in advanced search and then edit that might work
11:47:10 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    I think it is looking promising, too, Charlotte!
11:55:50 From  Kara Hart (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    Will wildcards be in advanced search?
11:57:06 From  Kara Hart (she/hers)  to  Everyone:
    Thank you!
11:58:05 From  Laura (she/they)  to  Everyone:
    sorry, need to drop off; thank you, Charlotte
11:58:58 From  Jacquie Samples -- Duke  to  Everyone:
    Thanks Charlotte and everyone!  I have a 1PM and have to go.
11:59:30 From  Stewart, Caitlin  to  Everyone:
    I also need to go - I added notes to the wiki page. Thanks everybody!
12:00:31 From  Lynne Fors  to  Everyone:
    Thank you Charlotte and everyone for a great discussion
12:00:34 From  Jennifer Eustis (she/her)  to  Everyone:
    Thank you so much Charlotte!
