OPAC: Enhancing the New Search Box in the Quick Search Bar
[This article was copied from the Voyager Wiki.]
Introduction
This relates to the "New" Tomcat WebVoyage user interface that is included in Voyager 7.0.1 and forward.
This code was developed by Denise Dunham and she gets full credit for it.
We have found that the "New Search" box in the WebVoyage Quick Search bar is much more useful when the type of search can be selected from among a set of search types (see following screenshot).
This code allows you to do that.
Change the code in the buildQuickSearch stanza of your header.xsl file to the following.
Remember to back up your known good file and test your changes carefully.
