[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bib records not indexed - Evergreen 1.6.0.3

[Hardy, Elaine]

We have reported a related problem -- where names such as Peter Høeg cannot be retrieved using Hoeg. My understanding was that this was not an indexing problem, however. It had to do with recognition of transliterations of some diacritics and other non-English letters. Is this fixed in 2.0 also?

Hi Linda: 

I had a few minutes this evening and tried the NKC examples and the 
Library of Congress example that you gave (thanks for such a clear 
description of the problem and such great sample data!); all of the 
examples imported perfectly and get indexed properly; keyword searches 
and title searches retrieve the records. So, good news on that front! 

If you're wondering about the timing of Evergreen 2.0, we'll be 
putting out a second alpha release of Evergreen 2.0 soon, with a beta 
release expected in October, and then more betas until we stamp out 
all of the bugs our determined testers find, hopefully resulting in a 
final release in December or January. It would be great if you could 
help us with some early testing of 2.0!
