[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: Widgets on web for searching evergreen catalog?

[Benjamin Kalish]

If you decide to have the toggle between searching the website and the
catalog, just remember that not all users will have javascript enabled. For
users without javascript you will have to redirect their request to the
catalog on the server when the catalog option is selected. We are using
Wordpress, so we do this with a plugin that hooks into the 'parse_query'
action.
