Description:
Can we change the order of the search forms?
Instead of
QuickSearch | Find Database | Find e-Journal | MetaSearch | My Space
We want:
QuickSearch | MetaSearch | Find Database | Find e-Journal | My Space

Resolution:
The order of the search forms at the top of the MetaLib screen can be changed in the following files:
navigation
navigation-guess

The order is controlled by the following excerpt:
<li id="navigationQS" class="$5100">
<a href="&server_vir?func=quick-1" title="//QuickSearch\\" accesskey="1">//QuickSearch\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationFD" class="$5200">
<a href="&server_vir?func=find-db-1" title="//Find Database\\" accesskey="2">//Find Database\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationFE" class="$5300">
<a href="$7000" title="//Find e-Journal\\" accesskey="3" target="$7100">//Find e-Journal\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationMS" class="$5400">
<a href="&server_vir?func=meta-1" title="//MetaSearch\\" accesskey="4">//MetaSearch\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationMy" class="lastItem $5500">
<a href="&server_vir?func=eshelf-2" title="//My Space\\" accesskey="5">//My Space\\</a>
</li>

Each 3-line group (li, a, /li) controls one of the search forms.
The following would result in the requested change:

<li id="navigationQS" class="$5100">
<a href="&server_vir?func=quick-1" title="//QuickSearch\\" accesskey="1">//QuickSearch\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationMS" class="$5400">
<a href="&server_vir?func=meta-1" title="//MetaSearch\\" accesskey="4">//MetaSearch\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationFD" class="$5200">
<a href="&server_vir?func=find-db-1" title="//Find Database\\" accesskey="2">//Find Database\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationFE" class="$5300">
<a href="$7000" title="//Find e-Journal\\" accesskey="3" target="$7100">//Find e-Journal\\</a>
</li>
<li id="navigationMy" class="lastItem $5500">
<a href="&server_vir?func=eshelf-2" title="//My Space\\" accesskey="5">//My Space\\</a>
</li>
