Improve results when clicking on author link in full record display #35

Open SofiaSlutskaya opened 1 year ago

SofiaSlutskaya commented 1 year ago

When clicking on author link in full record display, different results are produced depending on the way name is recorded in bibliographic record. For example clicking on the strings below would produce two different sets of results, even though it's the same person. |a Martin, Anthony J., |d 1960- |e author. |a Martin, Anthony J., |d 1960-

I suspect the exact string match search is executed and propose that only subfields $a,$b,$c,$d are included in the match and all other subfields are ignored. Please let me know if you need additional information or more examples.

Thank you!

Same as ticket #28 that has many additional examples. Also good example is Cronan, Todd, author Cronan, Todd, degree supervisor Cronan, Todd, contributor

The marc subfields that need to be included in an exact search string for 100s, 700s are below. Everything else can be excluded. ǂa Personal name ǂb Numeration ǂc Titles and other words associated with a name ǂd Dates associated with a name

We probably also need to look X11 and X30 fields that might have the same issue.
