      • Separated between public notes and all notes
    • Uniform search implemented
      • Searched within ‘alternative title’ with key=”fjedf6f4-9a5d-4b57-87d4-d149042493f4” (backend only. When implemented in UI, key will not be required for searching. Uniform title will be specified by text search)
    • Series title search implemented
  • Exact matches searching:
    • Contributors: default result displayed by ranking
      • Inventory search interface recommendation: contributors (all), -primary, -secondary (similar to identifier searching: identifiers (all), -ISBN, etc.)
    • GitHub page documenting search options: https://github.com/folio-org/mod-search#supported-search-types
    • Title:
      • Example: Bud not buddy; Bud, not buddy
        • Boolean operator was causing issues. Surround by quotes, i.e., ti:”Bud, not buddy”
        • Exact match expectation: ignore all punctuation
      • Cornell: Slavic/Hebrew language diacritics causes search issues in Inventory (not Inventory ES)
    • Homework: Provide examples for current searching pain points
