[Classweb-users] Architecture--History

[Geoff Mottram]

Hi John,

In the subject browser, a double dash should be used to separate 
subdivisions (superfluous spaces are ignored). The subject search screen 
is more forgiving. If you click on "Search tips and options" on the 
search screen, the last item allows you to not have to input the double 
dashes to find a subject with subdivisions. This also changes the way 
the records are sorted. When the box is checked, subjects sort like 
sentences, without regard to dashes. When the box is not checked, the 
search works the same as the subject browser: displaying records in a 
structured manner in which all of the subdivisions are displayed for a 
particular subject heading before moving onto the the next subject.

As to your first question, the centuries are there -- all five. If they 
are not displaying for you, please write me directly.

Best,

Geoff Mottram

It used to work at least part of the time if you played with the dashes and spaces, but now it seems the only way to get to Architecture-History is to page through many screens of subdivisions.  What am I missing?
