pull-down menu default: keyword or title?

[Rob Bruno <rbruno@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to take an informal poll as to what search option libraries choose 
to default to in their pull-down menus on the front page of their webpac 
(if you use the pull down menu).  A quick check of Innovative's list of 
notable OPACs reveals that 5 of those use keyword as the default search, 
and 2 use title.

Currently, our catalog's pull-down menu defaults to title, but we're 
thinking of having it default to keyword, since in many ways it's a more 
thorough search.  Your response would help our decision.

So, if you have a minute, can you let me know what you use?  If I get a 
good response I'll post results to list.

Thanks.
-Rob
