[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Apostrophe and Title Searches (still an issue?)

[Tony Bandy]

Hi Dan, folks,

So sorry...I should have been more detailed.

Using TPAC on 2.3.1, and hostname http://mountgilead.cool-cat.org,
performing a title search for: Reader's Digest.  Under this method, I get
zero hits, even though "Reader's Digest" is returned in the autocomplete
box as I type the title.  If I perform the same search without the
apostrophe, I get good hits.

Trying this same search on our training server with the same version of
Evergreen (2.3.1) I get the same response.

-----------------

To test, I've done the exact same search at King County Public Library (
http://catalog.kcls.org/eg/opac/home) and the demo server (
http://demo.ils.edoceo.com/sap/sunshine) and have not received the error.
 I also tried on the Equinox Demo server, but not sure if they had the
title as I got zero hits each time.

-----------------

Here's a sample of one of the MARC records that carry the title Reader's
Digest:

020. ‡a0895773538040 .‡aDLC ‡cDLC ‡dDLC 05000. ‡aT47 ‡b.H725 1990 08200.‡a
600 ‡220 1001. ‡aReader's Digest.2450 0.‡aHow in the World?


Thanks for any updates as you have time....


Tony
