<p class=MsoPlainText>Real Soon Now we are planning to do all the bugzilla
enhancement entries as was the plan developed at Kohacon. It's just been a
question of staff time and rapidly moving code/specs. For the patron searching
enhancement, the screen looks like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><img width=962 height=382 id="Picture_x0020_1"
src="cid:image001.png@01CA0F79.DFE337B0"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The pulldown in the top search box has Standard (covers
name and barcode), borrower number, email, and phone. If the staff person is
familiar with the SQL, he/she can also do a direct query in the bottom box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>You’ll note a Borrower Cart in the screenshot – a separate
enhancement we’re working on has some batch edit/delete capabilities for
records that are selected and added to the cart. That code is also still in
test.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Not an immediate solution, but we do have an
enhancement in testing right<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> now that has some advanced patron searching
possibilities including<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> truncation, searching by partial phone/email, and
SQL searching.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>That sounds great Jane. Can you create an enhancement bug
for it so<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>that others can see it's being worked on?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Will it be just a change to the way the search works now,
or will it<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>include other methods of searching patrons, like an
advanced search<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>screen?<o:p></o:p></p>
