Great job Martin, Jonathan, and Katrin!

 

Sad to say goodbye to all the effort put into the QueryParser, but I think it 
was the right time for it to go too. Hopefully some of the ideas behind it can 
be used to improve things in the future.

Subject: [Koha-devel] Saying farewell to QueryParser

 

Hi All, 

 

As discussed at the development meeting on the 19th February 
<https://meetings.koha-community.org/2020/development_irc_meeting_19_february_2020.2020-02-19-14.02.html>
  we have decided to remove the QueryParser option and code from Koha.

 

This decision was not taken lightly, but with the move towards Elasticsearch 
and the lack of follow-through support for continued bug fixing and 
improvements in the QueryParser code we decided to reduce out maintenance debt 
and remove it.  We used HEA to try to ascertain if anyone had been using the 
option and it appears to have little to zero adoption (and at the time of 
writing, had a number of bad bugs which meant using it was advised against for 
some time).

 

Jonathan D has worked hard to produce a patch quickly to do this work and I 
intend to push this later today to reduce the risk of repetitive rebase 
requirements.

 

So, join me in saying farewell to QueryParser, a nice idea never fully realised.

 

Many thanks as ever to the koha development team,
