Re: [VuFind-Tech] Query forwarding (search.ini) for articles@DOAJ

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Is it possible that this URL is not formatted correctly? It looks like the parameters are being formatted in a Javascript-oriented way, but I wonder if you actually want something that’s using traditional URL parameter formatting, like:

?query_string=medicine&query_field=bibjson.title&sort_field=…

Does that make a difference?

Dear All
An attempt to forward query to DOAJ for accessing articles against a search term is producing wrong results. In fact it is retrieving all articles (2.4 million+ articles) against the string.
I am using combined interface with the following entry in searchbox.ini:

type[] = External
target[] = "https://doaj.org/search?source=query_string:'medicine<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoaj.org%2Fsearch%3Fsource%3Dquery_string%3A%27medicine&data=02%7C01%7Cdemian.katz%40villanova.edu%7C83cae514354a4d993b0f08d46f05fc60%7C765a8de5cf9444f09cafae5bf8cfa366%7C1%7C0%7C636255518876120834&sdata=B2N9UFuBJ2lly0PqGKauIN%2FtyIy6zuWti83zX7l4isc%3D&reserved=0>',query_field:'bibjson.title',sort_field:'index.unpunctitle.exact',sort_direction:'asc',search_operator:'AND',search_type:'article',page_size:5 "
label[] = Articles@DOAJ
This is based on the syntax as prescribed by DOAJ:
https://doaj.org/widgets<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoaj.org%2Fwidgets&data=02%7C01%7Cdemian.katz%40villanova.edu%7C83cae514354a4d993b0f08d46f05fc60%7C765a8de5cf9444f09cafae5bf8cfa366%7C1%7C0%7C636255518876120834&sdata=tkZvl%2Bfs5%2BaSrwz87jt1dswm6VImF1%2FX1482oa%2B%2BOSc%3D&reserved=0>
Please help.
