Remove isScholarly facet #160

Closed kevinreiss closed 3 weeks ago

kevinreiss commented 3 years ago

Request to remove the "s.fvf" parameter value isScholarly,true for the query that runs against the summon api. Jeremy Darrington reports that exact title searches for articles that should be marked as Scholarly material often do not return in the search results. The link over to the native interface should pass the same query value over. Both queries should also exclude the content type s"Newspaper Articles" and "Book Reviews" since those both introduce a lot of noise.

It's doing that in both Chrome and FF, but otherwise doesn't seem to affect the searches themselves.)

I suspected initially this might be related to a change in how Cambridge journals are being indexed, but I'm finding examples in journals from other publishers: https://is.gd/CytYT4 vs. https://is.gd/WJWOxk (Sage); https://is.gd/3X4dH0 vs. https://is.gd/SgWx8c (different Sage journal); and https://is.gd/Xg6EHf vs. https://is.gd/HCK3C7 (Wiley).
