[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Copy Notes Searchable?

[Scott Thomas]

Hi Kathy,
    This was reported to me by one of our libraries who had a positive hit when doing a Keyword Search for "Local Author." I did a little digging and there was "Local Author" in the 500...so my excitement was short-lived.

Thank you for helping to verify this.

Scott

Hi Scott,

No, copy notes aren't searchable in the catalog. Words need to be in the MARC record to be searchable.

If you want to send a link with an example where copy notes seem to be searchable, we could look at it to see why it is coming up in your results.

I hope this helps!

Kathy

Hi,
   We are getting contradictory information on this:  are Copy Notes searchable via a keyword search in the catalog? Our tests seem to indicate that they are...

Thank you,
