Re: [VuFind-General] question about tweaking searches

[Karla S. <sm...@wi...>]

I do have the dynamic fields referenced in JIRA-480.  As I read the discussion I saw:
"Another potentially helpful addition would be a searchspecs_local.yaml file that extends/overrides the default searchspecs.yaml file"

Did that get implemented in VuFind 1.3? 

This will be my first time messing with searchspecs.yaml and I would love the safety net of having a searchspecs_local.yaml.
