Here is something that several of us have reported as bugs. But it
isn't a bug, it's just a pain in the neck. I will use an example
recently sent in by Pat but it's the same as but #42, previously
reported by yrs truly.
In Pat's example, she was trying to do a subject keyword search using
the word "Paris" and then modify by material type map. It is indeed
possible to do it, although clunky beyond belief, and here's how:
1. sw=paris
2. Modify search
3. Change limits
4. material type = map
5. Proceed
6. [THIS IS THE TRICK] Select 1-1116. Sorrowfully, All is not
listed as an option here, but all is indeed what you want.
7. Keep telling it to continue each time the search times out
8. Forward till you reach the end of the list
9. Result: 10 hits
Dont' blame me!!!!
