Re: 505 contents note not retrieved by title search

[May Anstee <m-anstee at plum dot lib dot il dot us>]

Sue: your longevity may be the problem.

We actually had to ask Innovative to turn on the ability to index 505 |t in 
our title index..  Since then it has worked like a charm.  Our original 
system went live in 1994.  I can't remember when we had the feature turned 
on, but it was right when 505 |t was an option.  And yes, re-indexing might 
be an issue since I am sure that by now you have lots of records with the 
enhanced contents notes in your system.


Cheers!
May
