Notes

  • Inventory now powered by ElasticSearch

    • Implemented also for Instance lookup component used for orders connections and when connecting preceding titles, etc.

    • Examples in Insomnia for Holdings & Items

    • Record still appears when searching with punctuation in varying locations

    • Not necessary to specify which part of the call number being searched (prefix, etc.)

  • Search by all properties

    • Investigated how it will impact performance and did not find any performance deterioration. Implemented.

    • Task - A task that needs to be done.

       MSEARCH-182 - Implement search across all properties of all records

    • Can search by all record types or specify search by each record type (Instances, Holdings, Items)

    • All = truly all, everything in the record.

    • Problem with the key for values. If you have in the records key instead of value you cannot find it at this point.

    • Examples in Insomnia of each search.

  • Summary of what has been accomplished:
