Reference: Mill-6016

Lucene search results limited by date are incorrect when date slice is based on MARC 008
Desciription: When the Lucene slice for document date is based on a variable length field rule
pointing to MARC 008, values for docdate in the index are just 4 characters (vs. 8 characters that
would appear in the index if the date was based on a record level rule). Because of this, Lucene
searches fail to return the correct records when a date limit is applied. Specifically, when an "after"
year limit is applied, records that have a docdate that is one year after the year specified in the limit
are not returned. (For example, if the search is limited to "after 2003," a record whose docdate is
2004 will not be returned. In order to return a record from 2004, the searcher would have to apply a
limit of "after 2002.")

Unable to access certain functions such as print, email and save when accessing articles in

WEBPAC

redirects , generating 401 errors
Reference: Mill-6231

WebPAC not sending PTYPE'd pinreset_email_p*.html when appropriate.

form with their PTYPE.
Reference: Mill-6197

Pathfinder Pro's handling of apostrophes in resource URLs causes target searches to fail
Desciription: When a WebPAC user launches a query that includes a term with an apostrophe, and a
resource link URL uses the USERSEARCH field selector, the apostrophe in the URL is encoded
using an HTML character entity reference – ' – which breaks queries sent to many target resources.
Since the USERSEARCH field selector cannot be customized, there is no way for customers to
remove the character from the resource link URL or otherwise deal with it so the resources work.
(And USERSEARCH is the only option for links to resources from browse screens, so there is no
workaround.)

as a separate letter, the search fails to return results
Desciription: A targeted keyword search in WebPAC fails to produce the correct results when a
search term includes a diacritic/letter combination that is indexed as a separate letter. In the specific
case being reported, the letter is ñ ("n-tilde").
Reference: Mill-6140

Desciription: In Millennium Administration Web Options function, deleting one web option also

Reference: Mill-6080

Phrase index searches limited by location not showing results when query term includes ñ (n-
tilde)
Desciription: When a phrase index search is limited by location, WebPAC returns the correct number
of results, but the records don't display. The behavior appears to exist only when the original search
query includes a term that includes the ñ (n-tilde) character, and the site has the stand_spanish
general rule enabled in indexrules.
