[Koha] Question about embedded "live search" links

[Delawska-Elliott, Basia]

Thank you, Galen! A search link is permanent then? It doesn’t just resolve into a single session?

I’m not sure if I’m making sense with the way I’m wording this, but in an OPAC I used before, each search session had a unique incident URL that eventually expired. To created a permanent search that would relaunch every time someone clicked on it, the search had to be saved to the OPAC database to create a true permanent link.

So just confirming, this would not be necessary with Koha?

Since I am not a user yet, I can’t test that out.

Thank you, again!

Hi,

is it possible to create a link to a live search on a specific topic in Koha that could be posted on a library website and that would automatically execute when a user clicks on it?

In a word... yes.  It can be as simple as setting up a search the way you link, then grabbing the URL from the web browser's address bar.

Regards,

Galen
