SHAREit enhancements


Several enhancements and fixes to the SHAREit program have been implemented this week. Here are the changes:

Enhancements to search results:

--The message displayed at the top of the search results has been clarified: rather than displaying “Page # of # Total results for "[term]" it now reads: "Page #:  # total results for [term]” so the page number and number of results won’t be confused. The new display looks like this:
--Certain special characters were making terms difficult to find in SHAREit. Terms like C++, .NET, #Famous, are now retrieved properly.  In addition, in staff title lookup, titles such as “I’m not Santa!” (that begin with quotation marks) can now be located either with or without the quotation marks.
--Some diacritics (acute accent, inverted exclamation, macron) were not displaying properly. These have been corrected.
--Sort Results by Author: Not all bibliographic records have authors (1xx field). When doing an author sort, the non-author results were showing at the top of the results (which is correct) but in a random order–in the absence of an author the secondary sort should have been by title. This has been corrected.
--When performing a multi-word search, “AND” will be used between terms to find results that contain all of the relevant terms. If there are no results, the configured “Zero Results” text will display; “OR” will not be used to find results containing at least one of the terms. 

Enhancements to Quick Links:

--Shortcuts to the Borrower Title Browse and Lender Title Browse features both displayed as "Title Browse" in Quick Links. They now display as "Borrower Title Browse" and "Lender Title Browse."
If you want to add these searches to your quick links now that they have useful names you might want to check out the video Quick Links: How to Use and Create Them

 Bug fixes:

--Use of diacritics in the search term was preventing results without the diacritic being returned and displayed. Results with or without the diacritic will now be included regardless of whether the diacritic is used in the search term.
--Diacritics were also affecting lender list building; this has also been corrected.
--Selected search resources were not being honored, and results from other resources returned. This has been corrected.
--The Request button and Multi-Copy link were not always available on AV materials without an 007; this has been corrected.
--The “Remember Me?” checkbox on the Login screen was not consistently remembering the username. This has been fixed.
--Reported display issues with Safari and on iPhones have been corrected.
--Logging in then back out occasionally resulted in incorrect page displays. This has been fixed.
--When attempting to print a large number of Pending requests With History, an error message would display. The timeout has been increased which should correct this problem.
