[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Audience filter excluding blank again

[Hardy, Elaine]

The audience filter for adult is excluding blank again. There is an
existing bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/760890  from 2011
that is marked incomplete; however it was fixed in earlier versions. We
are unsure whether the best course would be to add to the existing bug or
open a new one. Since this is a pretty serious search issue, we don't want
it to get lost either way.

 

To illustrate: our test server is still on 2.5 and an author search for
weber, david filtered by adult is successful. See
http://test.gapines.org/eg/opac/results?bool=and
<http://test.gapines.org/eg/opac/results?bool=and&qtype=keyword&contains=c
ontains&query=&bool=and&qtype=title&contains=contains&query=&bool=and&qtyp

adv=1&fi%3Aaudience=+%2Ce%2Cf%2Cg&locg=1&pubdate=is&date1=&date2=&sort= 

 

 

The same search on our live server (running 2.7.2) retrieves only 7
titles, all Audn code g:

<http://gapines.org/eg/opac/results?bool=and&qtype=keyword&contains=contai

i%3Aaudience=+%2Ce%2Cf%2Cg&locg=1&pubdate=is&date1=&date2=&sort=&_adv=1 

 

We have altered the adult filter to include blank, e,f,g. Testing on
another test server running 2.7.2 using a filter with just blank has the
same results as live.

 

I also checked NC Cardinal's catalog which is running 2.6, I believe. An
unfiltered author search for weber, David retrieved 211 titles. A filtered
search (linked below) retrieved 10, so the problem came back in 2.6:

ains&query=&bool=and&qtype=author&contains=contains&query=weber%2C+david&_

Would bug wranglers rather us open a new ticket or add to the existing
one?
