[Evergreen-general] Catalog search filters in staff client

Tue May 18 14:47:45 EDT 2021

That’s great Millissa, let me know how you do, would definitely add heat to that bug.

And yes thanks to Janet and Elaine for that context – that is probably why I am getting all those random results - it’s just odd that it pulls up the bibs with no holdings when I’m applying a copy-specific filter on the search. You’d think that would eliminate those bibs from consideration as it would have nothing to latch on to.

Some more context:
I did a little more diving into my French search, of which I had retrieved 5342 results – I went right to end of my results pages and on page 91 of 107 I actually started getting French titles with holdings. Up until 91 and after page 94, the results were all those random bibs with no holdings… (I guess we have a lot of bibs with no holdings) So about 150 out of 5342 bibs were what I actually had requested via the filter (50 results per page)

Maybe an ideal solution would be if there was a checkbox that you could click that said “Limit to bibs with holdings” or something so you could eliminate the excess! I tried clicking the “Limit to available” but that did not work.

+1 to what Elaine said.  If the bib record has no holdings the system doesn't know what scope to put it in, so it puts it in everyone's scope.
That's the easiest way we've found to explain it to our libraries.

Remember that staff searches will return bib records with no holdings attached in  staff client searches scoped by library so that they are findable by catalogers. This oftenmeans unexpected results for searches.

I ran into this same issue when looking for items. It seems to work for patrons when they search through the OPAC but on the staff client we get a bunch of extra results that don't fit the criteria. ESI is working with me on it to see if there is an existing bug or if we need to create one.

I don't believe you need the asterisk. Leaving that field blank should be sufficient.

But also...

My understanding is that we can't rely on the OPAC to return all results when many items match the criteria—for that you need to run a report. Unless the collection is very small, limiting to a shelving location and not providing any keywords will likely result in items missing from the returned results. Someone please correct me if I am wrong—I'd love to be wrong about this—but we ran into this same problem years ago and this is what we were told at that time.

Hi everyone,

Kendra’s question made me think of something else I have been wondering about. I’m working in 3.6, and I’m finding the search filters in the staff client Catalog Keyword Search are not working for me the way I thought they would. Particularly, searching by shelving location or “All Copy Locations”.

As an example, When I try to look up all the items we have in our French Language collection. I go to the filter options and in “All copy locations” and select “French Language (GRIMSBY)”, put a * in the search field and press enter.

This I would think should bring up all the records that have copies attached with the Shelving Location of “French Language (GRIMSBY)”, but I get a bunch of a results that do not meet these parameters. Bibs with no items attached, random DVDs, video games etc. I’ve tried to choose “French” under the “All Languages”, but they just gives me a different set of random results.

Is there a trick I am missing? Maybe I can’t use * to do a blanket type search like this? Basically I’d like to be able to look up every title I have in a specific collection without having to run a report. Any tips? Anyone know of any bugs? Thanks!
