I'm hoping someone can confirm the expected behavior of catalogue-home.pl for me. Our previous system had a lot of flexibility in building queries that combined different terms in complex AND and OR phrases, so I'm getting a little confused when I look at catalogue-home.pl.

Tell me if this is correct:

title, author, and keyword can all be limited by class. But title, author, and keyword can't be searched in combination. So, for instance, title and author can't be searched together (title keyword 'murder' AND author 'rendell').

Hmmm, title and author together should work. Thats a bug if they dont. Keyword works by itself ... but the others title, author, class, publication date etc can all be combined. Eg https://www.unido.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl Try a search on author callon and title laws. You can throw in language = english and class = monograph too. This is how it should work, if its not, please bug it and ill go find out why and fix it.

And subject can only be searched on it's own. Is that right? What about limiting by branch? There's a commented-out piece of code in the template, but it doesn't work for us if we put in our values.

Yep subject is more of a browse option .. keyword searches in subject though. Eg -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
