Support Phrase Searching for "Found In" in Catalog Search

[joncameron]

Description

Phrase searching (searching for an exact string by enclosing the query in quotes) doesn't apply to transcripts in the current Solr search strategy used by Avalon (Blacklight catalog search). Ideally, phrase searching should apply to both metadata matches and matches within transcripts or other supplemental files.

As phrase searching isn't built into the transcript search results, this will need to be a new implementation. It could be difficult to add phrase searching back to transcript search results; the current way it's written does this to avoid issues with special characters that held back efforts when first implemented.

Example

On avalon-dev, search "Richard Searles". There are many results with transcript hits, but the phrase doesn't appear to be in the transcript document; the search for transcripts is doing a standard OR search, rather than matching that exact string.

Done Looks Like

• Query terms wrapped in quotes are treated as phrases for matching in text documents
• Results matching only substrings of the phrase are not returned

May need to re-implement the "Found in" functionality. The current implementation is unable to do phrased searching.

Can be a time-boxed investigation.
