Re: [VuFind-Tech] call no. browse and search/indexing normalization

[Alan R. <ala...@mn...>]

Hello Tod,

The normalization I wrote is in the php code in the AlphaBrowse 
directory. At my old job I created separate  Dewey and LC call number 
browses. You cannot normalize them in the same way.

Since I don't work there anymore, I don't have access to the code. So I 
can only make remarks from memory.

We see this at search time, where the person goes to a different part of the index depending on minor typographical variations,  like whether the put a space in the call number. I think Alan wrote some JavaScript to deal with that, which I need to look at more closely. But we have both LC and Dewey and need to normalized them a little differently.
