Tom, I looked at this very closely and realized that the code as it stands would not be easy to change to support this, and that an ugly hack would be needed if we wanted it done. I am actually on travel for a week and would still really like to see what your developer did. It would save me some time, and perhaps it might be good to have a second set of eyes look at it. Maybe there is a way to make it less ugly. Do you think your developer could send me what he has when he is available. I would be happy to share the code change I made to the search results portion of this. That was not so ugly.

Is that the case? Could you share the >code that does that? We do have code that does that, but it's quite an ugly hack -- it filters results from the browse pages (including search results) by checking authorization as the browse list is created. This does mess up pagination. Sadly, our developer is indisposed at the moment, and I wouldn't know where to find all the changes, so sharing it isn't really possible at the moment. Sorry. However, I do gather that to Do It Properly, changes would be needed to the actual browse system.
