I am trying to solve the mystery of "changing" search results when using a Library search filter. For my single-branch library , the Library filter is just different Copy Location Groups.
I can't find my specific issue on Launchpad, but I'm also not really sure what's going on. This issue happens with all my Copy Location Groups, but here's what happens with a specific, basic example: I have a Copy Location Group consisting of just a single copy location, HPL Display - Read 15 in '16, in the Location Group named Read 15 in '16: [cid:[email protected]] When I search using only this "Library" filter, like this... [cid:[email protected]] I get these results on page 1, with about 210 results: [cid:[email protected]] Jumping to Page 8 of results, and suddenly I have about 115 results: [cid:[email protected]] Jumping to Page 10 of results, I have about 92 results: [cid:[email protected]] The results are "consistent" in that if I return to page 1 (or any other page), the number of results is the same as the first time I viewed that particular page (Page 1 always says 210, Page 8 always says 115). BUT THEN, an hour later if I search again, the first page says 270 results... consistently. So my question, I guess, is "What's the deal?!" Is the interpretation of "about" in the number of search results really THAT elusive? Help please, and thank you. -Holly Holly Brennan Library Technology Specialist Homer Public Library, Alaska [email protected] 907-235-3180 (main) 907-435-3154 (direct)
