[Koha-devel] searching for phrases

[Cindy Murdock Ames]

Thanks, Nicole.  I couldn't see it because my syspref for 
"expandedSearchOption" was set to "don't show".  And thanks for the link 
to the search docs...I didn't know about the search prefixes.  :)

I agree with Kyle, though...it would be nice if we could do phrase 
searching with quotes.

Cheers,
Cindy
