<font size=3>The is a problem that I have reported several times.
Sometimes a fix has been made, but it appears there needs to be a more
lasting one.<br><br>
Instead of pointing at the "AN" in the search these hot links
need to point at the actual subject headings themselves because not all
subjects are included in the "authorities".<br><br>
That's the first wish list for this. Actually all of the authority area
needs some work, but that is another issue...<br><br>

When our users click a subject heading, they receive a “No results match
your search for ‘an:2812’ in CASI Libraries Catalog” screen even when we
have more than the one item with the subject heading. The “an” with the
number part of the message indicates to me that the authority files are
being used. Assuming that, under Administration > Systems Preferences
> Authorities the following selections have been made:<br>
authoritysep set to --<br>
BiblioAddsAuthorities set to ON<br>

</font>Using the authority files while cataloging I have noticed that we
have multiple headings; for the search above there are two headings in
the authorities database, one with control number 2812 and one with
3488.<br>
<font face="Calibri" size=2 color="#17365D"> <br>
</font>What can I do to allow our PAC users to click on heading and find
the other titles with the same heading? Do I need to ask our system
administrator to enable the merge_authorities.pl cron job? We are using
Koha 3.01.<br>
