--- Comment #10 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) from comment #8) > After talking to some librarian colleagues, my understanding is that if a > librarian puts (for example) a long abstract on a 5xx field, they do it > because they want to perform a phrase search on it.

Locally, with Zebra, we truncate after 5000 characters on a field, since we've had performance and storage problems with very large 5xx fields before, and recently I've had libraries unhappy about that because they wanted to be able to search the entire 5xx field. -- I think on bug 27365 we've talked about requiring stricter adherence to 9999 characters for MARC fields (even though that's not quite right either), but there will always be cases where a record with very large 5xx fields makes it into Koha via an import of some kind anyway... -- When I finish bug 38270 to allow for compressed MARCXML, I imagine that I will run into this bug... so I'll probably be looking to test this very soon! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
