If I search etoy in the library field in the advanced search, I don't find any library.

If I search etoy in the favorite library search then I find the "Mediathèque d'Etoy".

The advanced search only search in the label. The tokenizing is not strict enough. I need to search "d'etoy" to find the lib. For St-Prex, I need to search St-Prex. Prex doesn't work

The favorite search is more fault-tolerant. It also searches in the addresses, the library codes and other fields.

Favorite Search :

Advanced search

  • uses this jquery plugin for autocompletion (based on the class chosen-select set in this template) as well as the init in AdvancedSearch.js
  • uses the label only, in the user language
  • basically it is a big select
  • on mobile it only shows a list
  • the order is important (uni basel works, but basel uni doesn't work)
  • it searches at the beginning of a word (usanne doesn't find lausanne). But this can be configured.

The above commits solves the problem with Mediathèque d'Etoy and Bibliothèque communale de St-Prex. Search Etoy and Prex will find this both libraries.

To offer the next feature (searching UB Basel or Basel UB should deliver the same results), neither chosen jquery plugin nor [autocomplete.js](https://github.com/swissbib/vufind/blob/master/themes/bootstrap3/js/lib/autocomplete.js offers this option. Even the static version of autocomplete.js doesn't offer this.

We need another tool. Possible candidates :

Or we let it as it is...
