"Repeat as Word Search" interaction with AVS Keyword (fwd)

[Peter Murray <PMurray@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just FYI --  I sent this message off to Innovative's Enhance e-mail address 
and to the IUG functional expert, but I think others installing the new AVS 
Keyword index may want to be aware of this.  We put a message on our 
'srchhelp' screen that warns users about the change from implied 'and' to 
adjacency, (<http://uconl.law.uconn.edu/search/X>) but it would be good if 
the system can do this for us when appropriate (as in this case).

Subject: "Repeat as Word Search" interaction with AVS Keyword

The behavior of "Repeat as Word Search" differs between the old keyword
interface and the new AVS Keyword interface because of the change from the
implied "and" to Adjacency as the default boolean operator of  the AVS
Keyword index.  If one does a title search for "john smith" and then
selects "Repeat as Word Search", the old keyword index will always return
more hits than the AVS Keyword index.  If the default operator for AVS
Keyword is to remain adjacency, the "Repeat as Word Search" button must
automatically construct the search string "john and smith" when searching
the AVS Keyword index.
