Library search : not the same results in advanced search and in favorites

[liowalter]

If I search etoy in the library field in the advanced search, I don't find any library.

If I search etoy in the favorite library search then I find the "Mediathèque d'Etoy".

The advanced search only search in the label. The tokenizing is not strict enough. I need to search "d'etoy" to find the lib. For St-Prex, I need to search St-Prex. Prex doesn't work

The favorite search is more fault-tolerant. It also searches in the addresses, the library codes and other fields.

Also : basel hauptbibliothek gives nothing

Favorite Search :

• work using https://github.com/swissbib/vufind/blob/master/themes/sbvfrd/js/swissbib/FavoriteInstitutions.js based on https://github.com/swissbib/vufind/blob/master/themes/bootstrap3/js/lib/autocomplete.js (from vufind)
• uses labels + adresses from local storage (favorite-institutions.ini). If language is changed there is a need to remove cache. But it searches in the user's language
• on mobile it offers a search as well
• the order is important (uni basel works, but basel uni doesn't work)
• it search any part of a word (usanne will find lausanne)

Advanced search

• uses this jquery plugin for autocompletion (based on the class chosen-select set in this template) as well as the init in AdvancedSearch.js
• uses the label only, in the user language
• basically it is a big select
• on mobile it only shows a list
• the order is important (uni basel works, but basel uni doesn't work)
• it searches at the beginning of a word (usanne doesn't find lausanne). But this can be configured.

The above commits solves the problem with Mediathèque d'Etoy and Bibliothèque communale de St-Prex. Search Etoy and Prex will find this both libraries.

To offer the next feature (searching UB Basel or Basel UB should deliver the same results), neither chosen jquery plugin nor [autocomplete.js](https://github.com/swissbib/vufind/blob/master/themes/bootstrap3/js/lib/autocomplete.js offers this option. Even the static version of autocomplete.js doesn't offer this.

We need another tool. Possible candidates :

• javascript libraries like Lunr
• create a new index in SOLR and search there
• use the mysql fulltext search as it is currently working in libadmin
• do a search in elastic in the linked index (the institutions should be there thanks to this morph : https://github.com/linked-swissbib/mfWorkflows/blob/master/transformation/indexWorkflows/libadminMorph.xml)
• do a search via data.swissbib.ch (https://data.swissbib.ch/organisation/NEBIS-Z01 used to work in the past).

Or we let it as it is...
