If I search our catalog for "eating disorders" <http://koha.york.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=eating+disorders>, I get 894 results. Most of these are eBooks available through various subscriptions or licensing agreements. Now if I want to limit my search to real, physical books in our library, I see two ways to do this in the interface:
1. Look for the "Item Types" section in the side bar on the left and click the link for "Books" this produces something very close to what we want with 25 results at the following address: http://koha.york.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=eating%20disorders&sort_by=relevance_dsc&limit=itype:BK Note the itype:BK option in the URL. 2. Advanced Search, use the same keyword, and click the checkbox next to "Books" in the Item Type section below. That leads to the following address; http://koha.york.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=eating+disorders&op=and&idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&limit=mc-itemtype%2Cphr%3ABK&sort_by=relevance&do=Search Note the "mc-itemtype,phr:BK" in the decoded URL. It produces only two results, both of which happen to be children's books. There is a separate checkbox option for children's books/Juvenile on the advanced search page, so we really wouldn't want to see either of these results in the search here. But more importantly, why don't we see the other 23 records? What do we need to do so that itype:BK comes out the same as mc-itemtype,phr:BK?
