The search can be done on ISBN/author/title.
Just enter one of them in the MARC editor BEFORE clicking the link.

Note : it works only if isbn/author/title fields are mapped in 
parameters / MARC parameters.
Note2 : to see what the daemon does, you can type in a console 
z3950processqueue instead of daemon-launch. The processqueue does the 
"true" search, and is launched by daemon-launch. processqueue reports 
all what he does.
