On our website we try to create direct links to the catalogue using WORD or
TITLE searches to find an exact DVD or VHS. We manage ok in about 90% of our
titles, but have problems regularly.
One recent for example:
We have an item with the title: Yu-gi-oh! the movie [VHS].
...
I don't have much to offer about why the searches don't work, but if you want
100% success with links to items in the catalog the only way to do so is to
use the record number in the link, using the format
http://yourserver/record=xyz. E.g., a link to the the VHS edition of
Yu-gi-on! in your catalog would be <
http://209.139.23.23/record=b1185436>.
In the Silver release the record number is hidden in the source code of the
bib display. View the source code and do a find for "recordnum".
