Description:
Make special ‘full’ search page for making links to searches in Organic Eprints.

Links made from the simple search page will not work if the collated fields on that page are changed in accordance with the addition of new fields to the database.

The advanced search page also contains a few collated fields.

I changed the advice on the Search Links? page to refer only to the Advanced search page

• 15aug2005. An extra search page does not seem to work (despite the promise in changelog) → change advanced instead to no collated fields?!
