Search with apostroph in OPAC for a text pasted from a Word document
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
* The search of a text with apostrophes, which is copied and pasted from a Word document, doesn't find any record
* If the same text is typed directly the search returns relevant records
Cause:
* The automatic formatting in Microsoft's Word 2010 changes the standard, straight apostrophe, into a curved apostrophe
* It is possible to change these settings within the Word program to make the preference permanent using the AutoCorrectionOption tool
Resolution:
1. Open .xxx01/tab/tab_word_breaking
2. Add the unicode notation for the character "right single quotation mark" (U+2019) to routine 90 :
90 # to_blank U+2019@$^_={}[]:;<,.\/
3. Word routine "90" is used when parsing a FIND query.
4. Restart PC and WWW Server
