Hi Judy,
Weird. I repeated your search with mostly the same results. I was able to
change the sort order and sort by date added. However, I also was taken to the
advanced search page and shown no results when I tried to go to the second page
of search results.
I tried a number of other searches with varying results.
Searching on the author Howard Zinn (we have lots!) gave me more than 140
results. I could change the sort order as well as navigate to the second page
with no problems.
So I tried a search on a topic I knew would give me lots of results—the
“Chicken Soup” series of books. I also wanted to include a search using quotes
so I entered “Chicken Soup” (quotes included. I got over 400 search results. I
was able to change the sort order a couple ways. But, like you, when I tried to
navigate to subsequent pages in the results I was taken to the advanced search
page and shown no results.
I am using JAWS and you don’t, so it’s not a screen reader issue. I also use IE
V. 11. Which browser do you use?
I can fiddle with it a bit more, but it seems clear that something is goofy.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Bug in search results in Bookshare website?
I'm experiencing a new bug when I do searches on the bookshare website, and am
wondering if anyone else has had this.
If I do a search on, let's say, (including the double quotes) "nature's
children" I get 170 results. If I try to reorder the results by clicking on
fields, such as Date Added, I get taken to a new page that says Advanced Search
and below that "No results found. You may need to broaden your search criteria."
I get the same buggy result if I try to navigate to the second page of results
by clicking the "2" -- so I can't see anything but the first page of results.
Has anyone else encountered this? I've never had this happen before, but for at
least the last two days I'm encountering this bug on every single search I do.
