[VuFind-Tech] YAML and colon

[Jochen L. <lie...@ub...>]

Hello,

I have a problem with YAML and colon. I implemented following rule in 
searchspecs.yaml.
(si is our solr field for the callnumbers in our library).

si:
   CustomMunge:
     rds_si:
       - [preg_replace, '/[:]/', '\:']
       - [preg_replace, '/[ ]/', ""]
   QueryFields:
     - si:
       - [rds_si, ~]

If I search for:

LS: Med 994/35 the search in solr looks like this: si:(LS\:Med994/35) 
perfect!!!!

LS:Med 994/35 (without a blank after :) the search in solr looks like 
this: LS:Med+994/35 ..... not good

and if I try to use * for the search ... it seems the YAML does not do, 
what I expect:

LS: Med 993/* the search in solr looks like this: LS:+Med+994/*

So ... two questions .... why does my rule not work it there is no space 
after the colon and why does it not react, if I use an asterisk?

Thanks and greetings

Jochen
