Description

Citation documents have an odd structure for author names, which can be one of (simplifying the syntax a bit):

  • CollectiveName

  • LastName [ForeName] [Initials] [Suffix]

  • LastName [FirstName [MiddleName]] [Initials] [Suffix]

Somehow, the ForeName and FirstName elements got mashed together in the query term definitions for Citation documents, with

.../AuthorList/Author/ForeName/FirstName

where we really should have

.../AuthorList/Author/ForeName

and

.../AuthorList/Author/FirstName

This causes some advanced searches to fail when they should succeed.

Remedy:

  1. Fix the broken query term definitions

  2. Reindex the Citation documents

  3. Test

Acceptance test

  1. Navigate to CIAT/OCC > Advanced Search > Citation

  2. Enter Lung% in the Title field

  3. Enter Jingwei in the Author field

  4. Click the Search button

  5. Verify that CDR617135 is found
