Linda, au: searches use text matching. an: searches use the authority links. Imported records never (or almost never) have authority links, so when you upgrade to 3.4 (due out very soon!) you'll probably want to change the UseAuthoritiesForTracings to "Don't use," so that the tracings don't generate links using the (incomplete) an: searches.

All, I may be misunderstanding how some of the links in Koha work, or we could have a problem with our authorities. Either way, I'd appreciate any help and/or insight. In Koha, if I do just a general keyword search for "Mississippi Dept of Transportation" I get 180 results. If I do an author search I get 150 results
If I click on one of the links for which that department is the author, and then click on its "by" link it goes to an:7261 and I only get 16 results. Some of those are the department as subject and others as it as author.
I thought au was the author index, and am assuming it is using the authorities?
Any help would be appreciated.
