[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Version 2.0.1 differences in indexing and display?

[Galligan, Patrick]

Hi all,

I finally finished getting a full index and installation of 2.0.1 on our development server up and running, and the record numbers (accession, resources, subjects, and agents) seem to match our production server exactly.

However, in a few cases with subjects and agents, I’m not seeing records starting with special characters showing up in the search index and don’t display in the list of all subjects. However, they are still attached to their respective resource records, and still have full subject or agent records in the system.

For instance, we have a subject “!Kung (African people)”. In version 1.5.3 this subject appears in the subject list, but in version 2.0.1 we just get an empty box, even though indexing has completed successfully. See the attached screenshots. And then when I click on this “empty” subject, I can see it’s attached to 1,024,044 different archival objects, which is definitely not correct (see attached screenshot).

We also seem to be missing any subjects or agents starting with quotation marks.

Was there a change in indexing/display behavior with the newest 2.0.1 releases? It’s fairly troubling to me that we wouldn’t be able to have special characters starting our subjects. And I have no idea why we would suddenly have an empty subject record attached to over 1 million archival objects.

We’d really like to move forward with our 2.0.1 upgrade, but we definitely couldn’t before working out these issues. It totally might be something weird on our end of the database, but we’d love to hear about a way to fix it!

Best,
Patrick Galligan
