Include prefixes in 035 repository search and creating set
Currently, when we do a repository search on Other System Number (035) with an identifier including a prefix, e.g. (EBL)165125, Alma would ignore the prefix and only match the remaining part of the identifier. That would result in retrieving incorrect record, e.g. record with (PQKBTitleCode)TC0000165125 in 035.
The same imprecise search also occurs when creating a set from a file with 035 field header. The prefixes are ignored and incorrect records are retrieved.
We would like the repository search on other system number and creating set with 035 field header to perform precise searches including the prefixes on the identifiers.
