Hi all
Jennie I am not sure exactly what you mean by aborting a search but
if I do a search such as w=polymer and w=conference and then hit
enter. I can stop the search by hitting the enter key again.  The
system then prompts that I have interrupted the searching.  It offers
me the following selections:

----------------------------------------------------------------

    Look for the FIRST WORD(S) in:            Look for KEYWORD(S) in:

       author            a=                      author keyword    aw= 
       title             t=                      title keyword     tw= 
       subject           s=                      subject keyword   sw= 
       all indexes       all=                    all indexes       w= 
       series            se=                     series keyword    sew= 
       call number       c=                      notes             nw= 

       <Boolean Search (AND, OR, NOT)>           <Course Reserves> 
       <Additional Searches> 

     >>> w=polymer and w=conference                                          
         Enter any word(s) in the series title.  (word order does not matter)

As you can see, new search is an option.  Is that what you mean?
