Bug ID: 38862
Summary: Add plugin hooks to transform searches
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Plugin architecture

For libraries with physical barcodes on their items that do not match the
barcode value in the record (and for whom re-barcoding is not feasible), the
barcode transformation plugin hook allows any action with a barcode to be
transformed via regex -- so if your physical barcode reads "T000123" but your
record reads "123", you can remove the "T000." This transformation is also
applied to searches of the barcode index.
However, that library will still not find their record in a keyword search for
"T000123." We should add a plugin hook to allow regex transformation of
searches generally. While I imagine this will generally be used in tandem with
the barcode transform hook, it seems more flexible to keep them distinct.
This plugin hook would have the potential to cause a lot of confusion and
really mess up searches if configured poorly, but I feel the utility outweighs
the potential for error.
