[Koha] Find and searching result

[BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER]

I think 90% of users (and that is generous) don't know and understand working around Boolean, nor should they have to.  They're not going to get the results they want, and they will give up.  Boolean is great if used in the advanced search interface, but for general searches it either needs to be left out or the results explained when Boolean kicks in.  There is no good reason it should behave this way.

Hi Tony

are you using Zebra?

If you don't want Zebra to interpret and, or and not as boolean operators, you can use quotes around your query:
"Philosophy and education George Knight"

Hope this helps,

Katrin
