Implement new eJournals A-Z search/browse form page #955

Closed eporter23 closed 3 years ago

eporter23 commented 3 years ago

Story: as a faculty researcher, I want to jump quickly into a search or browse interface focused on e-journals, so that I can get to the online title I want without a lot of additional clicks or search refinements.

The SEND team reviewed multiple options related to browsing and browse search and the majority of feedback received indicated this type of eJournals-centric interface is heavily used in Primo. This was also corroborated with an analytics review.

This mockup builds on our existing Title Starts With A-Z menu.

Wireframe:

Note: for the title field being searched, we may need to identify a much narrower set of title fields or a single field to search against compared to our basic title search fields. Short e-journal titles such as Blood, Vaccine, Gut, Cell, and Nature are requiring a lot of wading through results to get to even if the exact phrase is searched by title and wrapped in quotes.

Example of basic Title search for online journal "Nature" (poor result matching) : https://blackcat-test.library.emory.edu/?f%5Bformat_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Journal%2C+Newspaper+or+Serial&f%5Bmarc_resource_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Online&q=%22Nature%22&search_field=title&sort=title_ssort+asc%2C+pub_date_isim+desc

SOLR and Indexing

eporter23 commented 3 years ago

@alexBLR thanks for getting this up so fast! It looks like the reindex is still running so I can't fully test it, but I did notice on arch and test that the search and browse queries are not applying the sort by Title A-Z behavior we would like. It is defaulting to Relevancy instead.

Clarification: discussed with @alexBLR that we will add the sort by Title (A-Z) behavior on the letter browse (starts with) queries but not the search queries.

Leaving this in To Accept until @eporter23 confirms revisions were made.

Search is working great but there are some browse and layout revisions in ticket #985. This is good to deploy though. Thanks @alexBLR
