Bib Quick Search lets users find records quickly by searching for a unique identifying term, usually a number. When you install Horizon, staff can quick search by the bib number and the item barcode. (You may also have other searches installed, such as by the ISBN, ISSN, LCCN, or OCLC number, depending on how your indexes are set up.) You can add additional searches to the Bib Quick Search Index list as long as the search you add uses an index that identifies records with unique searchable terms.
