Hi All,

 

One of our users came across a problem, when performing some keyword searches…  and assumed it was a case problem, since the all uppercase words in their testing weren’t returning in the result set.

 

After testing, I have a preliminary diagnosis, (we are running 3.3.10 if it makes a difference).

 

It appears the index process is removing the ‘s’ off the end of the word (unless the word is all caps).

When performing a search, the system removes the ‘s’ from the search term, and performs the search… in our case this returns 2 of 3 test records.

 

When I took the last two letters off each eprint’s keywords, and then performed a search, it returned all three records in the results..

The plural determination holds true for the humble Platypus as well L
