Re: [IUG] "Faceted" keyword searching

[said shafik <saidshafik at hotmail dot com>]

So "Or limit by subject" means "Limit your search results by subject"? Like when we do Limit/Sort Results on OPAC?
I took it as a new search but by Subject.

The script is designed to stay within a keyword search. As I mentioned in the initial email, it's not possible to construct a limited URL for the other indexes. So "Or limit by subject" is doing just that: limiting whatever search you've currently got by one or more of the subjects in that list. If it changed to a subject search, it would be "Or search by subject" and I'd have to drop any existing format/language/location/publisher limits.
