Bug Description

From the commit message at the top of http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/miker/marcedit-authority-preceding-sf-search :

    Search clicked /and/ preceding sf values

    When looking for authority records to control a bib field, we currently
    search using exactly, and only, the subfield that was clicked. This
    commit changes that so that the full field up to and including the clicked
    subfield is used in the simple authority heading search we perform to find
    the best-match (pivot) authority record.

Mike,

Let me re-state what you wrote to see if I understand.

Your are proposing that if I have an authority controlled bib tag 650 (subject) like this...

650 $a Jazz $zFrance $zParis

and if I click inside any of the subfields, the context menu's search results will be based on all of the sub-fields present at the time of the right-click, instead of just the subfield I clicked on?

If so, Berklee would love to see this change.

Yamil,

Close to what you said, yes. Given your example, if you click on Paris it will search for "Jazz France Paris", but if you click on France it will search for just "Jazz France". This allows you to decide how much specificity you want to search with.

From what I hear, this new behavior is what catalogers have always hoped for / expected, and the old behavior was seen as a bug. Therefore I think this merits a backport. It works, and it's in master, rel_2_4 and rel_2_3.

Yes, this fix will be available in 2.5 and should also be available in 2.4.1 and 2.3.8 as well.

Hope this helps!
