Yeah, a tooltip or mouseover or placing the info in the record details page might suffice. But to further pursue Patrick's question on search/display dissonance (which I would hope only comes up infrequently), what else could we do? I don't think we could get away with just indexing the displayed data, though I bet the displayed data is getting more weight in relevance rankings. Highlighting just displayed data that happens to contain the search terms seems like it would get annoying and wouldn't help in the cases where the data isn't displayed. Maybe just a help page explaining what gets searched would work. :) Thanks Dan, Patrick, Elaine! -- Jason http://esilibrary.com/
