Just to clarify: We don't want to treat hyphen as a space. We just want to ignore/omit it while searching. (Well, maybe the "vice versa" part of my e-mail is not all too sophisticated...)

So "Sinti-Swing" would NOT become "Sinti Swing" (as it is actually the case) but just "SintiSwing". Of course, a search term like "Sinti Swing" should just stay unaltered as there is no hyphen in it anyway.

Hi David

Many thanks for your reply and the hints!

After a standard installation of Koha 18.11 the CHR indexing is used,
thus the configuration is done in file "word-phrase-utf.chr".

A catalog search
* for "Sintiswing" shows 1 hit
* for "Sinti-Swing" shows 18 hits, the hyphen is used as a breaking
character, so any record containing "Sinti-Swing" or "Sinti" and
"Swing" is found, but not "Sintiswing"

I changed the following line, omitting the hyphen (between comma and
dot):

space
{\001-\040}!"#$%&'\()*+,./:;<=>?@\[\\]^_`\{|}~’{\x88-\x89}{\x98-\x9C}¡¿«»

After a Zebra reindexing a catalog search
* for "Sintiswing" shows 1 hit
* for "Sinti-Swing" now shows only 8 hits, the hyphen is no more used
as a breaking character, so any record containing "Sinti Swing" or
"Sinti-Swing" is found, but not "Sintiswing"

I also tried to add "map (-) @" but this leads to the original results.

In short: My change of configuration didn't lead to the desired
result... If searching for "Sintiswing" also "Sinti-Swing" should be
found, and vice versa. This is not the case.

Since I couldn't find any documentation about CHR indexing - does
anyone know where to find out more about the CHR way of indexing?

Best wishes: Michael
