I searched http://opac.library.org.nz with keyword "guide". However among the first 30 results are 6 records where word "guide" does not appear.
A keyword search looks in a whole lot of places for the keywords you give it, including title, subtitle, series title, biblio notes and biblioitem notes, and subjects. Not all of these are displayed in the OPAC search results. So if a book were part of the "Bob's Guides to Pets", you might not see why it was included. -- Andrew Arensburger Actually, these _do_ represent the arensb@ooblick.com opinions of ooblick.com! Generic Tagline V 6.01 --------------------- Yes, I did check all visible fields - but searies titles and notes are invisible. I think this is very, very wrong. If I remember right then some of those notes are for librarian only - and should not be searched. There is also no reason to hide notes that are made for opac users. Hiding the series title is also wrong because it makes difficult to uniquely identify searched works. (of course someone at Horowhenua should check the search result just to make sure it is not a bug) Ville Huhtala
