Notes
Inventory now powered by ElasticSearch
Implemented also for Instance lookup component used for orders connections and when connecting preceding titles, etc.
Normalized search for call numbers
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.
Not sure if all libraries will want this implemented. Has to be enabled on the tenant level to be accessible. Not currently turned on in Snapshot.
Will be part of Kiwi. Requested that this be turned on for BugFest.
Call Number Browse
In order to implement call number browse will need to be UI work done.
