I'd like to note/report some somewhat irregular behaviour I noticed on my koha 
installation (3.08.03.000 on Debian).

a) Search result pages seem to disregrad settings set in "System preferences". 
I have set 
        defaultSortField: callnumber 
        defaultSortOrder: ascending
        OPACdefaultSortField: callnumber 
        OPACdefaultSortOrder: ascending
    yet, both cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl and cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl 
default to order by relevance, regardless.
 
b) Local images don't always show on the OPAC search result pages. In some 
cases the correct local images appear randomly for some books only, while don't 
appear for others. In other - even more peculiar - cases, local images appear 
as the page loads and then disappear once the page has completed loading. 
It doesn't seem to be a browser flaw, as I've tried several browsers on 
different platforms, with the same results. 
This is a consistent problem: I have yet to see a full page complete with all 
the local images I have uploaded so far. I even tried reducing the number of 
books appearing on each page, from 20 to 10, so that it would put less strainn 
on apache server and on the browser, but it made no difference. 
The local images appear correctly in /cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl both in the 
top portion of tthe page and in the Images tab, however in 
cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl they only appear in the Images tab (this may 
be by design).
Local images don't appear at all in cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl 
(administrative interface, with images on the first to the left column), I 
guess however that this is by design too.
 
c) I had set koha to use the additional Amazon material available, and all went 
well. Wishing to verify point (b) above, I set AmazonCoverImages back to Don't 
show, yet it seems to have no influence, as Amazon images continue to appear 
nevertheless.

On all three notes above, am I doing something wrong, have I mis-understood the 
settings mentioned, or are they bugs?
