Well, that explains alot. Most of the books I want to add doesn't 
have either a, b, or c.
 From my point of view it's much better getting 200 hits if it 
contains the right one than 20 hits
if it doesn't contain the rigth one.

I just tested to change the mods2tellico.xsl file to only test for 
text as suggested,
and its working like a charm !

Thanks for the help !

Yes, thats a powerfull way of reducing possible results of a search. 
Another way would be
to be able to sort the search result on published year and author 
much like the Mercury z39.50 client
for windows does. As it is now the Description field in the search 
result window somewhat does the trick.
