Add starts with functionality to Call Number field in the advanced search
"starts with" functionality should be added to the Call Number field in the advanced search in Primo.

This is to update that this feature is now available in February 2023 release for Primo / Primo VE.
Best regards,

This made it through round two of NERS 2022 (7986), will probably be possible for holdings with Febraury 2023 release.

Using Alma Analytics is also a workaround. But I expect a "starts with" functionality for the readers / patrons not just staff.

For call numbers, the browse index could be a workaround, but it only shows holdings, not items: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/43401771-call-number-index-include-item-call-numbers-not

The "starts with" functionality in the call-number field in the advanced search does not work. And users find the "contains" functionality unhelpful.

Primo VE: 'starts with' in advanced search should also be possible for Author, Series and Subject, which can be browse indexes

This seems like more of a 'bug fix' than an enhancement. At the very least it should not act like this.
'When choosing 'call number' then 'starts with' the interface switches the index to 'title'.
