Advanced Search Help Pages
At most libraries, Advanced Word Searches in the WebPAC run from Search Help Pages for the 'X' and 'Y' index tags, that is, srchhelp_X.html and srchhelp_Y.htmlrespectively. Each of these Search Help pages offers one of the Advanced Word Search modes:
srchhelp_X.html -- Advanced Boolean Search Help page
srchhelp_Y.html -- Simple Boolean Search Help page
For current examples of these forms, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.
NOTE
If your library uses different index tags for the Advanced Word Search feature, the names of the Search Help pages must include the correct tag, for example, srchhelp_E.html when an Advanced Word Search option uses the 'E' tag. The following discussion uses the default tags 'X'and 'Y'.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON ADVANCED SEARCH PAGES
Advanced Word Search help pages use tokens to supply appropriate <form action=> HTML tags. If your library chooses to omit those tokens from your Advanced Word Search help pages, your opening <form> tag must use the following format:
<form action=/search/TAG method=get>
Where TAG is the index tag appropriate for the page. For example, a srchhelp_X.html page must have the following if the <!--{advancedsearchformbegin}--> token is not used:
<form action=/search/X method=get>
