Re: [IUG] Coding a webopac search box which has limits built in

["Welch, Andrew" <AWelch at auroragov dot org>]

Hi Bruce,

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to pre-limit index searches (scope and
sort method excepted). Keyword searches are a different story. If you
change the form action to "/search/X" you should see your limits
applied.
