In serial home (cgi-bin/koha/serials/serials-home.pl) there is a link 'Advanced search' on the sx column, over 'Claims' and 'Check expiration'.

But it doens't do a search on zebra or on mysql.
It is a js filter that works only on results of a previous search.

To use it you need:
-- Do a search with one ot the two instrument on the top
-- Open the box and insert a filter on results.

So I suggesto to change the string from 'Advanced search' to 'Filters on search results'.

Hm, Zeno is right, the search filters seem non-functional without doing a search first. And then the display changes - you have more search options etc. - Something there is not quite right.
Comment 2 Aleisha Amohia 2015-06-17 04:10:03 UTC
I agree with Katrin, it is a bit strange. For me, those search filters seem completely non-functional because if a search first it takes me to the different display with extra options, and if I haven't done a search first (which is the only way I can use this advanced search) then no results show. (if that makes sense.)

the 'Subscription search' on serials-search.pl (search results) works well. What if we take this code and replaced the advanced search on serials-home.pl with this? the advanced search has it's own include file (.inc) so we could put it in there, and then just refer to the include in the serials-search.pl file.

Thoughts? let me know if it doesn't make sense!
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2017-10-08 15:06:17 UTC
It seems the display has changed since the screenshot was taken - I only see the filters now after a search. Can someone confirm?
Comment 4 Marjorie Barry-Vila 2017-11-13 15:32:46 UTC
In 16.11 and 17.05, the form "Search subscriptions" displayed after a search (simple or advanced) allows to redo a search on all subscriptions. It's not just a filter form anymore.
For me this request is solved.

Regards,
Marjorie

I confirm that now the problem is over.
In fact the bug is resolved by bug 10855 [pushed into master at Fri, 2 Oct 2015]
