[Koha] Search of Non-Latin records

2012-11-19 Thread Araik Manukyan
Dear friends, Our catalog mainly consists of Armenian records, thus during the installation we have chosen to use ICU. Then, after importing some records, we have rebuilded the Zebra index. On the console it was written that 7 records were indexed. However, when we tried to search for imported

Dear Araik, I think no Latin characters indexing and searching remain the major bottleneck of Koha. I can not imagine a library in the world with couple books in non Latin characters and I am not sure why the developer community has not been able to address this. We have many books in Arabic and

Facets used to be sorted on popularity, but that was confusing people because the numbers weren't showing. I did some Amazon and Kohls shopping this weekend and the facets were sorted alphabetically when it came to things like brands. The problem is that Koha doesn't use all pages of results to

Ok, I understand. But as since bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3154 we can choose the number of records used to build facets (pref maxRecordsForFacets), maybe for some (not all...) libraries it could be good to sort facets results by decreasing occurences order.

Looking at the Perl script that generates Koha facets, in my opinion they are not good and... cannot be better :-) I found a very good solution in the Solr demo of BibLibre. Try http://catalogue.solr-demo.biblibre.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=*%3A*filters= that retrieves all records in the

So if we only use the first page of the results we can't show true popularity and so I think that's why it was changed to alphabetical a while back. The change was in Bug 4891, Order facets in left sidebar of search results (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4891) but

What constitutes 'popularity'? I have a feeling this is a useless sort order for a research collection like ours that doesn't loan out anything. Good old fixed data like name, title, date are what suits our readers best. Elaine On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 1:00 PM, Mathieu Saby

As we are a Primary school library(Kinder to Year 6) we need all areas to display alphabetically as any other way is too confusing for the students. It would be good if the, an, a, at etc at the start of a title could be excluded from the search as this would narrow the field greatly. Author,
