    • 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
