RE: [IUG] Persistent URLs for Scoped Searches

["Adam Brin" <abrin at brynmawr dot edu>]

Leo,
	We haven't seen a difference, but, we have learned the hard way not
to  use a high numeric value (ie. 10) for unscoped searches.  Unscoped
searches should be done as:  http://catalog.cantonpl.org/search~S0 or
http://catalog.cantonpl.org/search~/

	[this really becomes an issue if you add another scope later, as
it'll default to the next numeric value (in this case 10)]

With that said, we've stuck to the first method using the ~.

Subject: [IUG] Persistent URLs for Scoped Searches


Does anyone know the relative merits/demerits of using the two types of
syntax, below, for persisent URLs?

In essence, the difference in syntax is the use of "search~S10" in example
one, vs "searchscope=10".


http://catalog.cantonpl.org/search~S10/t?SEARCH=DK%20Eyewitness%20top%2010%2
0travel%20guides


http://catalog.cantonpl.org/search/t?SEARCH=DK%20Eyewitness%20top%2010%20tra
vel%20guides&searchscope=10
