[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC 2.3 Advanced Search Filters--any thoughts?

[Tony Bandy]

Morning everyone,

Thanks again Ben...this helps, especially knowing that this will affect
everyone in the consortium.  We have a demo server set up, so I will take a
whack at that and do some experimentation and see what I can come up
with....

Appreciate it!

Tony
