[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Related Agents link strangeness

[Trevor Thornton]

I've been working on a plugin (based on the approach HM used in their
and_search plugin) that deals with the problem a little differently -
instead of changing the default operator to AND it boosts results for
phrase queries (multiple words separated with spaces) where there is an
exact match in the Solr 'title' field:
