no, I'm not thinking of restricting Boolean searching to one
field at a time. The non-MARC Advanced Search, however, does
*currently* not seem to properly support searching on more than
one field (I didn't realize this until I have to read the code
that does the searching). I was proposing that we probably
should make this point clear, in order to avoid confusing
people.
I just thought that if my local public library's OPAC has such
a note, it is not too strange to put such a note on Koha's
(non-MARC) search screen. Of course, when the search is fixed
so that it can properly support entering more than one search
term, the note should be taken out.
