Re: form & genre index name?

yeah - between your reply & the other ones I've gotten off list,  
there doesn't seem to be an alternative.

Our home page only has some of the indexes in the drop down box - for  
the rest, they have to go to the srchhelp page. We'll just have to  
try to explain it there. For us, the major uses will be special  
collections.

thanks to all who answered.
