Re: Title searches in text vs. Web OPAC

I think they call that "little glitch" you mentioned the "disappearing
cursor" and can be found in volumes in the archives.  Something tells me
it's more than a "little glitch" if it has a name for it!

This might be totally unrelated, but I've experienced a little "glitch"
in our opac that might be in yours. In our opening search screen (the
one you get when you "start over"), sometimes if I type in a title the
space bar acts as a return and sends the search before I've finished
typing it. So of course I often get a no hit. This doesn't always happen
and I can't pinpoint why or when it does happen, but if it happens to
everyone else as often as me, that could seriously affect statistics.
