all versus exact in VIAF GET method #70

Open brundin opened 9 years ago

brundin commented 9 years ago

Right now the query string uses "all" ("•all (for all the listed terms)") in the GET method for querying VIAF. Explore using the more exact "exact" ("•exact (searchs the exact string, including any punctuation)").

See this page for VIAF query syntax:

Might be worth comparing the results for this and for the “all” option which might be more responsive to a variety of input forms.

Did you notice that this page misspells Jane Austen????

Ha! "Jane Austin" [sic]. Missed that. And now I just noticed that the verbatim description defining the "exact" value that I included above spells "searches" as "searchs".
