[Koha] Advanced search - Additional content types for books/printed materials

[Dimitris Antonakis]

Dear Andreas,

Thank you for your valuable input.
Thankfully it was easier to solve than expected. The default 008 values at
positions 24-27 - Nature of contents, was filled by a "| - Not attempt to
code". When I changed it to "# - No specified nature of contents"
everything worked like a charm.

Regards,
Dimitris
