<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi everyone,</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I am new to Koha and am trying to set up our OPAC to have
more searchable indexes on the Advanced Search page which will search specific
tags in the MARC record. We have added a note for our state children's
award winners and nominees to the 586 tag which I would like to be able to
search on. Here is what I've done so far:</span></font></p>

record.abs to include the MARC tag that I want to search on (in this case
586$a)</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>2)<font size="1" face="Times New Roman"><span> </span></font></span></span></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">edited
bib1.att and added attribute</span></font></p>

ccl.properties and added what the new indexes I wanted to be (in this case wa)
and pointed it to the attribute that I assigned in the bib1.att</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>4)<font size="1" face="Times New Roman"><span> </span></font></span></span></font><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">added the
option value to the opac-advsearch.tmpl</span></font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">When I go to the Advanced search page and choose the Award
Winner from the drop down menu, and enter the wording on the tag's note,
I don't get any results. What am I missing? Do I have to add
the index term of "wa" to another file?</span></font></p>

<br></blockquote></div><br>The only suggestions I would have would be to check the Zebra and Koha error logs to make sure the search is happening correctly. The Koha search tool is very verbose and should print out the exact query it is sending on to Zebra.<br>
<br>Do other kinds of searches still work? (You probably checked this, but in case a syntax error sneaked into one of those files, it would be good to verify).<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jesse Weaver<br>Software Developer, LibLime<br>
