However, it seems to be ignoring the first argument, 'series title'. ------------------------------------- s 'series title' & 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1 -> 1 match. >>> Item #69037 (3 May 2000 08:43) - Re: OECD economic surveys - 130 or 245? 6) Serial section title or subseries title with initial article. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------------------------------ The search: s 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1 produces precisely the same result. However, the search s "series title" & "subseries title" in autocat form 98/1/1 produces three hits, the first two, in the synopsis, showing hits on both phrases, but the last is the same as for (above) s 'series title' & 'subseries title' in autocat from 98/1/1 and does *not* show a match for 'series title' but only for 'subseries title' as above.
