Allow patrons to disable FRBR + disable FRBR in advanced search
Hi
Our patrons run into a lot of problems caused by FRBR.
Please
– Add a checkmark to allow the patrons to disable FRBR per search, no matter if logged in or not.
(like "Include articles without fulltext")
– Make it a parameter in the patron settings
– Disable FRBR as default in advanced search
This could also be used as a feeble workaround for the missing exact search https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/18579556-add-a-true-exact-search-to-advanced-search-type

shared this idea
Unfortunately this idea will not be included in Primo 2025 roadmap due to other prioritizations. we do think it is a good idea for long term roadmap.

In the meantime I learned from Nili Natan that (in Primo VE) the setting
FRBR Preferred
is more practical for the patrons than
FRBR GenericIt allows them to get to the title they are looking for with only a few clicks, with just the _option_ to see the whole FRBR group.
Edit: this is a workaround. The real problem is that with Generic, in the resulting list of FRBR versions, the HIGHEST RANKED record from the results set is NOT shown as the first title.

The wish that the patrons should be able to deactivate FRBR and that FRBR should be deactivated after any Advanced search still stands.

> I wonder how to ... name
For FRBR I think "Turn off grouping" would be understandable.

Hi,
having experienced quite a lot of difficulties both with DeDup and FRBR since we've changed over to Primo last summer, I'd really like the option to have a button to switch both or either on or off "online" like any other facet.
That being said, I wonder how to promote, explain and name-tag such buttons for my colleagues and users, so they could understand what they'd do?
I wonder what impact such "buttons" would have on retrieval times?
