Hi everyone,
 
We've gone back through all of the searches that were odd...and I was able to 
determine that there is some truncating going on. 
 
For example: keyword search, all formats on 
 
student involvement
 
retrieves the following record:
 
http://evergreen.niagaracollege.ca/opac/en-CA/skin/nc/xml/rdetail.xml?r=47687&ol=2&t=student%20involvement&tp=keyword&l=2&d=1&hc=5&rt=keyword
 
 
I figure it's coming up because of the words: students and involving.
 
Am I correct in my assumptions? I guess this isn't a case of anything being 
wrong, just something we need to get used to?
 
Thanks!
Gordana

My thought exactly -- several eyes might be able to catch something.

It would help a lot if you can describe the odd search results, copy
the search URL (yay Evergreen for having persistent URLs) into the
email, and describe what you were expecting to see. Then we can
probably provide an explanation that would explain your search
results, assuming an out-of-the-box set of indexes.
