could someone please point me in the right direction, I currently have a searchable database and ran into the problem of searching by title.
If the title begins with “The” then obviously the title will be in the ‘T’ section, what is a good way to avoid “The” being searched ? Should i concat two fields to display the title but search by only the second title ignoring the prefix. or is there another way to do this? Advice or direction would be great. thanks.
A few choices:
a) Store the title in “Library” format, which means you process the title and store it as
b) Store the original unchanged title for display purposes, and add a new “library_title” field to store the processed version from a).
c) Add a new field to store the articles, and the bare title in title field. For display, you’d concatenate the two fields, for searching you’d just look in the title field.
