[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Google Books Preview in 3.1.4 not showing up

[Linda Jansova]

Hi,

accidentally, we have discovered the following pattern:

When one uses a link to the bib record which comes from the search 
results page, the preview does not show up, e.g.:

https://spok.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/opac/record/29456?query=krizov%C3%A1%20intervence%20%C5%A1patenkov%C3%A1;qtype=keyword;locg=1;detail_record_view=0

However, when permalink (without all those search parameters) is used, 
the preview does show up:

https://spok.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/opac/record/29456?locg=1

I have been trying to verify whether it also occurs in other Evergreen 
installations. It seems that demo servers 
(https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=community_servers) do not 
have the previews switched on.

So I tried a couple of live systems and have found out that Laurentian 
probably uses at least 3.1.0 because one can see search terms being 
highlighted. The Google Books previews rewrite has been introduced in 
3.0 (http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/3.0/_public_catalog_2.html), so if 
Laurentian also uses it (and it is, indeed, the case) it would also use 
the rewritten code for the previews.

It follows the same pattern like the one we have discovered in our 
system, e.g.:

https://laurentian.concat.ca/eg/opac/record/3138661?locg=105 - the 
preview shows up

https://laurentian.concat.ca/eg/opac/record/911755?query=boudica;qtype=keyword;locg=105;detail_record_view=1 
- the preview fails to show up

Is there anybody else using Google Books previews? Could you help 
confirm if it also looks like described above? If so, I would report it 
as a bug...

Thank you!

Linda
