<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Now that I have more data in my test ArchivesSpace instance, I</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">m noticing things that I</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">m sure have been there all along and I just didn</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">t realize it. Is the search engine on ArchivesSpace set up as an “OR” rather than an “AND”? Any multi-word search I do pulls up way more results than I would have expected, i.e. any record of any type that has any of the words included. (Perhaps this may</FONT> <FONT FACE="Calibri">a</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">lso be part of the reason that provided LCNAF plugin seems to be virtually unusable?)</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">Since Google and its ilk have spoiled many of us,</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">m sure I</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri">m not alone in saying an “AND” search would be more useful.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
