Consider these two searches: Keyword: harry potter Shelving location limit: Juvenile DVDs http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=harry+potter&op=and&idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&limit=mc-loc%3AJDVD&sort_by=relevance&do=Search Returns 4 results and Keyword: harry hotter Shelving location: Juvenile DVDs http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=harry+potter&op=and&idx=location&q=Juvenile+DVDs&op=and&idx=kw&do=Search&sort_by=relevance Returns 0 results. I'd expect the same four results. Seeing that first query converted the label Juvenile DVDs to a code of JDVD, I try to use that identifier instead: Keyword: harry potter Shelving location: JDVD http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=harry+potter&op=and&idx=location&q=JDVD&op=and&idx=kw&do=Search&sort_by=relevance Returns 0 results
This is still valid. The shelving location search in advanced staff search will only work correctly if searching with the code.

I think there might be a different problem at work here, but it's too old to really troubleshoot this one with the original reporter I think?
This one is actually resoved: We used to have shelving location as an option in the pull down that only worked with the codes. As this was confusing, the option was since removed. Now only the checkboxes are offered. If you look closely you see the difference in the search URL and how the original reporter made the difference between 'shelving location limit' (checkboxes) and 'shelving location' (pull own)

The "Shelving Location" option in the pulldown was an endless source of complaints. > If you look closely you see the difference in the search URL and how the > original reporter made the difference between 'shelving location limit' > (checkboxes) and 'shelving location' (pull own) Yeah, I noticed that, and thought that was interesting. Although the 1st and 3rd URL both used the LOC code. I was surprised that the 3rd URL got no results, but figured it was just not handling the location in the same way as a limit mc-loc would, since they are different bits of build_query code...
