[Koha] Does your library use OPAC authority searching?

[Rafael Antonio]

Dear users,

I understand your comments but in Portugal we named it "Authors and
Subjects".
It is a powerfull tool because users can search only on existing terms
(authorities) rather than keywords that can not correspond to any index. May
be an alternative feature could be a similar browse bur on indexes (author,
title, subject) as we can do on authorities showing how many records
correspond to each one. But  "misnamed" is just a sintax matter who can not
hide their important functionality.
Regards,

Rafael
