Chris,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I just have a hard time imagining it being an index or bad bib record since I haven't added any prior to upgrading, just the intial bib load, which was searching just fine in the OPAC and it is still working in the staff client.  What I think I'll do is set the OPAC and enhanced content sysprefs back to the defaults specified in the documentation and see if I can determine if its a syspref problem.  Any other sysprefs that could be in play outside of those groups?
