Search Testing

The following checklist will walk you through steps to learn about searching your new Koha catalog, each step includes a link to the most recent Koha manual and a tutorial video if one exists.

  • Search the catalog via the staff client advanced search page for a keyword in the title field and limit your results to one or two item types. Review the results and make sure that the data looks as you expect it to.
  • Search the catalog via the staff client advanced search page for a title and author combination. Review the results and make sure that the data looks as you expect it to.
  • If you use authorities, do an authorities search in the staff client and note the number of records each authority is linked to, confirm that these results look as you expect. (Learn more)
