Item search without searching for bib record id
When we search for items, we often search for the bar code, but then some books show up that get matched on the biblio record, which is confusing. Is there a setting somewhere that we can set so that searches don't match on bib record number?

Hi, Tim-- To search by barcode, have you tried the prefix "bc," e.g.: bc=123456 or: bc:123456 (I prefer using the colon rather than the equals sign because it's faster to type, and it also works!) There are other helpful search prefixes in this guide (I use it all the time): http://manual.koha-community.org/3.12/en/searchguide.html Hope this is helpful!
