Hi Chris

Sorry for the misinformation - I was searching in the other installation 
which works fine anyway.

In the installation with the problem as said the parameter 
"OPACShowUnusedAuthorities" is set to "Show". If I search in the OPAC it 
takes some time but won't show no results. In the staff clients it shows 
the correct number of results but not the actual results.

Michael
