Yep. Another OPAC Bug.

This is rapidly becoming the Bug Blog, isn't it? (Say that five times fast. Bug Blog. Bug Blog. Blug Blog. D'oh!)

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I've confirmed that the odd OPAC behavior that some of you have been reporting is, in fact, a known bug.

After doing a Quick Search in the OPAC, you can sort your results by Title, Author, or Pub Date. However, if you use one of these sorts, you will be taken to the Exact Search screen when you click on a hit, not to the full record for your hit.

This shouldn’t happen when you're using the Exact or Keyword Searches. If you do a Keyword Search and use the index "Keyword Anywhere", this should give you the same results you'd get with the Quick Search, only you'll be able to sort them.

Of course, saying that this a known bug doesn’t mean that I, or the server site, can fix it, sadly. But, it's nice to know it's known, right? :)

It may be something that is fixed in later versions of the OPAC software, but last I heard we were not upgrading WebVoyage (the software behind the OPAC), since we're moving to GIL-Find. GIL-Find, knock on wood, should not have these sorting problems.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
