[Evergreen-catalogers] [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Matches exactly search retrieval issue for 2.5.1

Mon Jan 27 14:47:03 EST 2014

This error has implications when search a title with or without an initial
article. For example, PINES title contains search for "restaurant at the
end of the universe" returns 20 titles, 16 with that phrase in the 245.
Matches exactly for "restaurant at the end of the universe" returns 4 hits
- 2 are compilations and 2 don't have the initial article. Matches exactly
title search for "the restaurant at the end of the universe" returns 14
hits, all with the phrase in the 245. Adding to the bug report.

Hi Elaine,

Thomas Berezansky tracked down the problem in IRC. The "Matches Exactly"
option is changing the search to:

^joy of cooking$

when it should be changing it to:

"^joy of cooking$"

The current behavior says the title should start with "joy", contain "of",
and end with "cooking." Most of the Joy of Cooking titles did not end with
cooking, so they weren't retrieved, but the vegetarian cooking one does
indeed end with cooking.

I would say that this indeed is a bug and is probably easy to fix.

We've noticed what appears to be incorrect returns in a matches exactly
title search in 2.5.1. Before I open a bug report, I wanted to check if
this is a bug or something else.

In the PINES database test server running 2.5.1, a title contains search
for joy of cooking retrieves 56 titles, 36 of which contain the phrase
"joy of cooking" in the 245 (main title) field. They include:

Joy of cooking

All new all purpose joy of cooking

Joy of cooking. |p All about party foods & drinks

Joy of cooking. |p All about pies & tarts

Joy of cooking. |p All about canning & preserving

The joy of cooking : |b a compilation of reliable recipes with a casual
culinary chat

The joy of cooking Christmas cookies

Stand facing the stove : the story of the women who gave America the Joy
of cooking

A matches exactly title search for joy of cooking only retrieves 17
titles. The search results showing just titles for illustration are:

1.           Joy of cooking

2.           Joy of cooking

3.           Joy of cooking

4.           Joy of cooking

5.           Joy of cooking

6.           Joy of cooking

7.           Joy of cooking

8.           Joy of cooking

9.           Joy of cooking.

10.         Joy of cooking

11.         Joy of cooking

12.         Joy of Cooking.

13.         Joy of cooking

14.         Joy of cooking

15.         Joy of cooking.

16.         Joy of cooking. |p All about vegetarian cooking

17.         JOY OF COOKING.

As you can see, with the one exception, the search is only retrieving one
record where the title contains subfield p, however there are a number of
titles in the contains search with |a Joy of cooking. and a |p.

Also, with that one exception, no title containing the phrase "joy of
cooking" in either the 245 |a or |b along with other words or phrases is
retrieved.

We did reindex Joy of cooking. |p All about pies & tarts to see if that
was the issue, but it was not retrieved in a subsequent search.

To me, this is a bug, or at least not expected behavior. Before I create a
launchpad report, I wanted to check to see if I was missing something or
there was another, fixable, explanation we have not considered.
