[Koha-devel] Subject tracings

[Linda Culberson]

I like this development by BibLibre very much.  We have a variety of 
patrons.  Some are very serious researchers who know exactly what they 
want and don't appreciate the vagueness of the fuzzy-type searches.  On 
the other hand, we have some people who are new to researching, aren't 
quite sure what they want, and they do want (or think they want) 
*everything* we have on "civil rights" or "Vicksburg"  even if such a 
search gives a mind-numbing number of results. I think the "drill down" 
filters would be very helpful.
