Comment 17 for bug 1350831

Whoa, hold the phone! Side quest time!

Jeff, you're primary examples ("lord of the rings", and your instance's version of "big bang") are about leading articles are harmful, at least in your EG instance, and you'd like to ignore them for browse (both sort, as specified by cataloging rules, AND for display, seen as an improvement for the patron), is that right?

Assuming so (and ignoring case for the moment) you can already do that. Assuming a stock title|browse definition (adjust as needed), all you need to do is:

UPDATE config.metabib_field SET browse_xpath = browse_sort_xpath WHERE field_class='title' and name='browse';
