Ampersand symbol (&) in Repository search
It's found that the repository searches using the ampersand (&) symbol and the word 'and' produce different results. Our request is to make the ampersand symbol and the word ‘and’ interchangeable when Alma does repository searches.

In Primo VE, when a title in the 245 contains "&", if the title is searched with "and" in place of the ampersand the correct record will come up. This does not work the same way in Alma, however.

In some cases, a 246 field could be added to have "and" spelled out but that is not a universal solution. We would like to ensure that "&" and "and" could be used interchangeably in Alma title searching as it seems to work with Primo.
