[EP-tech] Re: DOI search - exact match?

Can you use a custom script?

my $q = $session->param( ...name of the <form> param... );

my $list = $session->dataset( 'archive' )->search(
    filters => [ { meta_fields => [ "id_number" ], value => $q, match => 'EX' } ]
);

if( $list->count == 0 )
{ ... }
elsif( $list->count > 1 )
{ ... }

my $match = $list->item( 0 );

...

Make sure you have your metadata clean cause people sometime use different formats for DOI's (doi:// etc..)

Hello all,

   we are trying to make searches on the id_number field exact, so that even DOIs with special characters e.g. / return an exact match - will search for those characters, not strip them out or ignore them. For example searching for 10.1039/c0dt01389g will return "ignoring 10".

   Has anyone already worked on this? Is there a way to make the search function not ignore any of the string, but simply look for an exact match in the particular database field?

  What we want is for a search request containing a DOI, searching the id_number field, will return either one result if there is an exact match, or nothing if not.

thanks,
