Savitra, This is fantastic!!!
We have a charter high school with at-risk teenagers - they've been in environments that have been far less that optimal and our librarian has their success in mind. Having them read within (or slightly above) their lexile range is a way to help ensure these students succeed. Our librarian will be elated at this option! Thanks again!

I will supply the code later this week (we are off today), not jquery, I don't think. Nicole, on including this in advanced search, sure we will submit a patch.
