YES! Thanks, that did seem to resolve most of my problems. I am still getting a bad result when search NABOKOV. Searching from http://lib11.library.vanderbilt.edu/diglib/a-to-z.pl for NABOKOV I get two listings for "Sigaux Project: Box 28 Content list" the second listing links to box54 and does not contain the word NABOKOV. The index is rebuilt each evening. Any suggestions? Thanks.
