[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Hidden titles in OPAC

[Donald Butterworth]

Thanks again everyone for your guidance. We have implemented the Located
URI method and hope that all is now well.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to confirm that all of the titles are
displaying correctly in all of the catalogs?   I tried a general keyword
search using the term "Online access", our default phrase in the $y,
without success. I also tried a general keyword search using the wildcard
term * without success. It would ease my mind if there was a way to confirm
that all 16K records are available when searching.
