In addition to the Ovid problem reported earlier yesterday with recovering the previous search, there may also be a problem with running saved searches. An off-campus patron called the reference desk late yesterday afternoon to report that when she ran a saved search, she got wonky results (some search terms retrieved zero results that previously retrieved lots). It was a multi-file search, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I suggested that she wait until this morning, try it again and let us know if she encounters further problems. It was a multi-file search, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I also requested that she send us screen shots to further clarify the problem.
I also talked to Katherine about this, who suggested that it might be useful for patrons to report such problems directly to Ovid in addition to reporting them to us. That way, Ovid will be be made directly aware of the issues. Their email address is support@ovid.com.
Cheers,
