          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: OPAC Advanced Search Publication date range guide text
                    FAIL
          Severity: trivial
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: OPAC
           Product: Koha

Guide text in the advanced search form is incorrect: 

"For example: 1999-2001. You could also use "-1987" for everything published
before 1987 or "2008-" for everything published after 2008." is illogical. 

The logically and functionally correct way being: 
For example: 1999-2001. You could also use "-1987" for everything published
before 1988 or "2008-" for everything published after 2007.

Reproducing the bug: 
Search date range 2008- for "everything published _after_2008_" and you'll get
also books published 2008, not only after 2008.

This text bug prevails in community's demo runs 3.8, 3.6, 3.2 and master,
provided by Bywater, CALYX, Equinox, Libriotech, software.coop
http://koha-community.org/demo/
The four TOF demo Opacs on the list. 

Also in Bywater sandbox OPAC
http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/
EVEN THOUGH text bug has been fixed in Bywater sandbox Intranet
(ver.3.09.00.026, whatever that would mean) (login bywater - bywater reqrd): 
http://intranet.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl

Bug shows in live instances too, e.g. Farmington Koha, 
http://catalog.farmingtonlibraries.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl

Most likely in KOHA 3.10 too. 

FIX SUGEGSTION, that do not age along the years: like w Bywater 

format: yyyy-yyyy


PS.
All in all, when I "patron-eyed" Farmington Adv search, I started to miss guide
text feature. The advSearch page is so long. 
It could be shortened. Esp. the Item type list should be made drop-down type
and also divided into 2 or more categories: Item types and thematical types. Or
newest item types? Now the list doesn't work for, well, anybody. Schratching
here my head: some patrons could use this as an itemtype browsing feature.
(Well but this is now off-topic already.)
