--- Comment #7 from Heather <heather_hernandez at nps.gov> ---
I tried it out here: http://browse.koha.catalystdemo.net.nz
It seems nice, but it doesn't seem like a true browse to me--what I look for in
a browse is to enter a search term, and have the results returned to be what is
exactly before my searched term in the given index, then where the searched
term is/would be, then what is exactly after the searched term in the index. 
So there would be no need for "exact, fuzzy, really fuzzy," because when I
browse an index, I want the results to be what is before and after that term in
the given index.

That said, when I searched "exact" for "Author": Rowling
I get:
Rowling, J. K.
Rowling, J.K.

This is nice, but, again, it doesn't seem like a "browse" to me--these are just
search results.  When I click the names, I get the exact same search results as
I do via Advanced Search, Author Phrase:
http://browse.koha.catalystdemo.net.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=au%2Cphr&q=rowling&op=and&idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&do=Search&sort_by=relevance&limit=

If I Browse via "Fuzzy" with: Rowling
I get these results:
Rollins, Henry,
Rowland, Sarah-Jane.
Rowlands, David.
Rowlands, Gena.
Rowling, J. K.
Rowling, J.K.

Which does show me some results which should be in the author index above
Rowling, but I get no results that should be in the author index after Rowling.
 "Really fuzzy" is the same.

I would like to see the searched for term in the middle of hits that occur
before and after it in the index, e.g. something like this (an author "Browse"
result, with made up examples below Rowling, J.K.):
Rollins, Henry,
Rowland, Sarah-Jane.
Rowlands, David.
Rowlands, Gena.
Rowling, J. K.
Rowling, J.K.
Rowlins, Fred.
Rozalind, Sue.
Rualla, Max.
Ruscha, Ed.
Ruther, Martin.
Quahog, Amir.
Quaker Alliance for Peace.

I hope this is helpful!  --h2
