Re: [IUG] "Another Search" links to Advanced Search

["Sue E Boggs" <boggs at ups dot edu>]

Good catch, Margaret. I was looking at the search form at the top of the
page, which I guess only shows when one is logged into My Millennium.

Steven, about halfway down the mainmenu.html page is the code for the
search

Search:
<select name="searchtype" id="searchtype" onChange="initSort()">
<option value="X" selected="selected"> Keyword</option>

You are telling it to do an X search instead of a Y search, as you have
changed it to in the search form at the beginning of the page. Change
that to a Y and your "another search" should go back to that instead of
the X.
