I really, really, really don't like the fact that you have a space in your
field name. Adding &debugQuery=on to your query should show
you the results of parsing the query. What I *expect*, but haven't
tested, is one of two things:
1> the query parser interprets Entrez ID:335 as something like
defaultsearchfield:Entrez ID:335
in fact, I'm surprised it doesn't throw an error unless you have
a field named ID......
2> you aren't specifying the field in the first place and you're
getting defaultsearchfield:335
Please do yourself a favor and use lowercase and underscores for
your field names, historically, there have been some corner cases
where capitals produce surprising results, in some of the contribs as
I remember....
If none of this is the problem, can you post the results of adding
&debugQuery=on to your URL?
