[OPEN-ILS-DEV] ***SPAM*** Re: 1.6 RC1 (and 1.4 and probably before) subject searching

[Melissa Belvadi]

Dan, hi. I do feel this is worth backporting (easy for me to say, not
doing the work). We've been very unhappy about this problem ever since
we had Alexander work up the code to make the subject headings be
hotlinked/searchable, and discovered the problem, last fall under 1.2, I
think. We're planning to go to 1.6 in December, and all of our
librarians would be very appreciative if we got this fixed when we do
that upgrade.

For what it's worth, I did commit this change to trunk in changeset
14250, along with the required upgrade SQL.

However, I'd like to know if others feel this is important enough to
be backported to 1.6. To me, subject searching feels broken out of the
box without this patch.
