MARC Expert Search in the OPAC only returns results for records that
have copies attached - transcendant records are not retrieved. You can
see the OpenSRF method that is called in the gateway log:
open-ils.search.biblio.marc

MARC Expert Search in the staff client returns results for all
records, whether there are copies attached or not. You can see that a
different OpenSRF method is called in the gateway log:
open-ils.search.biblio.marc.staff

I suspect this explains what you're seeing. Try attaching a copy to
one of those records, and you should be able to use the MARC Expert
Search to retrieve it.

I haven't done an import for a while now; are there any other COMMIT
statements that have been introduced into the set of SQL statements
generated by parallel_pg_loader.pl?
