Guide text in the advanced search form is incorrect: "For example: 1999-2001. You could also use "-1987" for everything published before 1987 or "2008-" for everything published after 2008." is illogical. The logically and functionally correct way being: For example: 1999-2001. You could also use "-1987" for everything published before 1988 or "2008-" for everything published after 2007. Reproducing the bug: Search date range 2008- for "everything published _after_2008_" and you'll get also books published 2008, not only after 2008. @ http://catalog.farmingtonlibraries.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl This text bug prevails in community's demo runs 3.8, 3.6, 3.2 and master, provided by Bywater, CALYX, Equinox, Libriotech, software.coop http://koha-community.org/demo/ The four TOF demo Opacs on the list. Also in Bywater sandbox OPAC http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/ EVEN THOUGH text bug has been fixed in Bywater sandbox Intranet (ver.3.09.00.026, whatever that would mean) (login bywater - bywater reqrd): http://intranet.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl Bug shows in live instances too, e.g. Farmington Koha, http://catalog.farmingtonlibraries.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl Most likely in KOHA 3.10 too. FIX SUGEGSTION, that do not age along the years: like w Bywater format: yyyy-yyyy PS. All in all, when I "patron-eyed" Farmington Adv search, I started to miss guide text feature. The advSearch page is so long. It could be shortened. Esp. the Item type list should be made drop-down type and also divided into 2 or more categories: Item types and thematical types. Or newest item types? Now the list doesn't work for, well, anybody. Schratching here my head: some patrons could use this as an itemtype browsing feature. (Well but this is now off-topic already.)
Created attachment 13238 [details] [review] Bug 8546 - Error in description of OPAC Advanced Search Publication date range search The publication date range search description in the OPAC suggests that a search like "-1987" or "2008-" is not inclusive when it actually is. This patch corrects the description.
