Truncation in field search #1496

Closed viola-v closed 1 month ago

viola-v commented 2 months ago

Our manual currently states that

Truncation (*) is case-sensitive:

991:PALESTIN*

But I get no results when I try that. From #578 it looks like this used to work and I seem to remember that. Did something break?

Upon review, the issue is that right truncation is not working for any subfield besides $a. For example, 700:palestin* works as expected, because the target value ins is $a. Whereas for 991:palestin*, the target value is in $d.

This only effects cases where the beginning of the string is supposed to match. For example 991:*palestin* works as expected.
