Issue Omeka S provides full-text search functionality, but unfortunately, Japanese search does not work properly with default settings. Specifically, partial match search does not function correctly. For example, assume that multiple items with titles containing the string “Koui” (校異) are registered, as shown below. When entering “校異” (Koui) in the full-text search form at the top left, the search returns 0 results. On the other hand, entering “校異源氏物語” (Koui Genji Monogatari) returns the correct search results. ...

This is a memo on how to get an element with a specific xml:id value using JavaScript’s querySelector(). Specifically, for a variable called myDoc, you can retrieve the element as follows. This example gets the element with the value abc in its xml:id attribute. myDoc.querySelector("[*|id=‘abc’]") The key point is to specify it in the format *|(pipe)id. When working with TEI/XML files in JavaScript, there are cases where you need to retrieve elements using xml:id attribute values. Unlike other attributes such as type or corresp, the xml:id attribute has the prefix “xml:” in its attribute name. Therefore, you need to use the approach described above. ...
