This page describes the search in Inventory UI up to and including the Juniper release. Since the Kiwi release, Inventory UI uses Elastic/Open Search and no longer PostgreSQL search.

This page can still be used for CQL queries at mod-inventory APIs (/inventory/...) and mod-inventory-storage APIs (/inventory-storage/...).

Please keep this information in mind when using the page.

FOLIO’s current technical approach for search is using PostgreSQL, JSONB columns, CQL and RAML Module Builder. Using Elastic Search as a long term solution is being explored Autumn 2020 - Spring 2021 - see more

In inventory, we have implemented segmented control search where it's possible to toggle between searching on an Instance, Holdings or individual Item level. Search in the Instance segment supports search on bibliographic data. Search in the Holdings and Item segments are a combination of key data from the Instance record, combined with holdings and item specific data elements. The filters reflect each of the individual segments and include search on effective location.

...

See list of defined supporting database indexes: db_scripts/schema.json – Skip to the "tableName": "instance", "tableName": "holdings_record" or "tableName": "item" section and look into the "uniqueIndex", "index", and "fullTextIndex" subsections. The id field is automatically indexed and not listed in schema.json.

See misc. test of search performance in Bug fest Goldenrod (https://bugfest-goldenrod.folio.ebsco.com/) in Document Inventory Search Response time (Q3 Timebox)

Tips: When searching by an ID, in the Query search it's better to use "==" as it uses the B-tree index to search, whereas a CQL query using "=" will result in a full text search, which is not efficient for searching when there is already an index on the ID.


Examples on CQL syntax (WIP)
