Add authors as searchable fields, like authorName_bo_x_ewts. The field will not be shown in the UI, only used for matching.

Yes, let's make things a bit more elaborate: when there is only one author (in the author field, which is the person id), the UI could display the (highlighted) matches in the authorName_* fields with the link to the person record instead of the usual prefLabel of the person record fetched after the query

(But no change if there's no match in the authorName_* fields

eroux commented 4 hours ago

Thinking more about it, I think in the case where there are multiple authors (and thus we can't put the links on the matches, we could still display the matches in a new "authors' names" field... that would make more sense... what do you think @roopeux ?

roopeux commented 4 hours ago

Yes, I am generally against links within links, because it makes users hesitate. Since the whole search result div should be a link, it is actually better to not link from authors' names.

eroux commented 3 hours ago

ah ok, that's quite a big change (even from the old website), can you open a dedicated issue for that?

roopeux commented 3 hours ago

Yes, we can check that later. Let's see how this style works in the test. My point was in the context of adding links from names.
