Richard, Yes, you should use "lex" in the searches, it is a numeric index so you use operators like "lt" (less than) or "le" (less than and equal to). Searches should be in this fashion: lex,st-numeric,lt:500 lex, st-numeric,le:800 and lex, st-numeric, ge: 300 See this DC Everest's OPAC to see t

The program needs to be in the same directory with those dll file. Just extract the folder, put where ever you wish, and create a shortcut to the program on your desktop. That should be all you need to do. I just tested it on a Windows XP machine that has never had it before and it worked fine. The

This is indeed awesome and just what our librarian is looking for - are you using jQuery to build the query from the input boxes before sending the search? Also, where in the MARC record and koha database are the lexile numbers supposed to be stored? I'm not sure yet the numbers are being store
