Hi Yamil,
I'm curious to understand what the reasoning is behind using basic
search instead of the advanced search by default when in the staff
client. This question came up recently from one of our librarians and
I'm still waiting to hear back from them as to their reasons, but
wondering if there's similarity.
Is there a functional difference between basic/advanced that fuels this
preference? To me, I could not think of anything specific in our system
since both default to keyword search, so they seem to have similar
enough functional aspects to them. Or is it merely an aesthetic choice
to match the staff client to how the system would behave in an OPAC
situation for consistency's sake?

Hello,
We are running EG 2.2 with TPAC, and my staff would prefer that when
using the client that the "search catalog" (F3) button takes them to
the basic search instead of the advanced search. BTW, we are a small
single system, so it wold be fine to make this change globally. Any
suggestions of what I need to edit to make this change?
Thanks in advance,
Yamil
