1. Polaris 8.0 - Fix the Leap Bibliographic Find Tool Search to use Initial Articles like the Polaris Client

   Currently in Leap there is no equivalent Bibliographic Title search to the "Exact match (implicitly truncated)" in the Polaris Client. The Leap search "Bibliographic>BasicSearch>Title>Exact ()" doesn't utilize the Initial Articles entries in the Bib record so any title search with a "The" or "A" or "An" in the title are not returned in the search results. This has caused a push back to adoption since the very real perception is that Leap has inferior search capabilities. I'm not sure why the the "Bib Exact ()" search requires staff to strip out the A, An & The initial article to return results when that hasn't been the standard method of searching in the Polaris Client.

   Idea Value
   To provide a Bibliographic Title search in Leap that is equivalent to the extremely functional "Exact match (implicitly truncated)" that has been in the Polaris Client. This is needed to remove the obstacle for staff to implement Leap. Having to retrain all staff to drop the initial article to achieve a successful title search just doesn't make sense to me. Currently there is no client parity in this area.
