From my tests, I think that the "Subject" search will not return a result unless you type in a known subject name. If that is correct then it is (IMHO) not very useful for casual users (as they would not know what subject names are valid)?
Actually that is correct too - having tried to search for something that it was highly unlikely that HLT has as a subject you get no results. So perhaps at this point we need an error message that has an option to "Click for subject lists" - so that on smaller systems you get to see the list, but on bigger ones you're not waiting an hour for it?
If this is correct, then mabe the web interface fo "subject" search should change - maybe a select list such as currently done for "Class" search?
However my explanation of how it works and why you don't want a drop down list still stands :-)
I think youve spotted a bug, something in the recent past that has been changed must have broken this.
I don't think this is a bug - as in I don't recall us having anything that happened when you didn't find a subject?
Yep, it appears to be broken on hlt.katipo.co.nz .. but the live system running at HLT is working. So ill go see whats broken in the cvs version and fix it.
Well, Rachel had just convinced me that this was due to a limitation of my test system - I must say she had me convinced... She's now a candidate for a job with Microsoft perhaps <big grin>
It's a feature I tell you :-) Cheers R _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org
