Hi! Happy new year to all! :)
Unfortunately, I fear I have to start the year with a bug report. One of our users just noted that if you use the advanced search and enter a query without any results you do not get any notification in certain circumstances. E.g. http://goo.gl/gsJ3p (searching müller and wert in the author index of JuSER) triggers this behaviour. However, if I fill in only one field it seems to report properly. I think this should be fixed. At this occasion I wonder if not the advanced search should just create a simple search with proper fields instead of using it's own code. As far as I can see the above example (at least should ;) be identical to author:müller and author:wert in simple search. And as far as I can see, there is, (taking /, " and ' modifiers into account) nothing that adv. search can perform that simple search can't. At this occasion I'd like to mention that I got the feedback from the users that they actually prefer the advanced search in many cases instead of just keying in the above term. Not that I understand it, it's just users feedback. Even though we added a lot of just 3 keys logical fields. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : a.wag...@fz-juelich.de phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
