Hi there,
I am currently working on improving accessibility of koha opac site with our accessibility expert. One of the things we noticed is that the advanced search option is not only confusing for blind users but also even for normal users.
I have noticed the following issues with it:
1) By default the Fewer Options option is selected, which is not obvious to the normal users until they click on More Options.
2) The layout could be a lot better, in particular the Fewer Options search form is quite abstract in what it does.
For example, the default boolean operator is AND which is not obvious to even normal user.
In my opinion, layout similar to the one http://kea.massey.ac.nz/search/X, is better.
I'm going to disagree and say that site is horrid :) Maybe others will have different opinions though. Chris
