Hi! Invenio uses the colon : to tell the search engine the field to search.
Per see this is nice, but unfortunately, the colon is not really a good separator in bibliographic data search. E.g. it usually separates the main title from the subtitle as well. An example would be: http://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/21825 reading The Mont-Blanc Project: European Summit of Exascale System Architectures Now, if you have the exact title you can copy&paste it into the search box but it will yield no result as project: seems to trigger something here. If I give the title in quotes (" or ') everything is fine. If I remove the colon, everything is fine again. Just a literal copy&paste fails. From this I would suggest to improve the search engine a bit. It seems reasonable, that - if the term in front of a colon is NOT a defined index nor a marc field, it should not trigger a field search. Probably it is safe in those occasions to strip the colon. - if the letter following the colon is a blank it does not refer to a field but is a literal colon. I may add that at least for books there is also a separation common (default RAK behaviour, ie. all german speaking library catalogues) that is defined as " : " ie a colon enclosed in spaces. Might be that the search engine doesn't like that either. At least if I add a space to the above title I get some funny comment from invenio. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : [email protected] phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
