I think ever :-). The spellchecker is pretty good, though not as good as google. I really like the fact you can sort by popularity, and I love the facets on the left when you do a search.

In the age of "Your OPAC sucks", you sure cannot say that about Nelsonville!

Decades ago I was the librarian at Nelsonville-York Junior High --my first library and I loved it.

Best of all, it corrects misspellings & doesn't require you to search under archaic subject headings such as cookery.

Stanford recently went live with it. http://www.jaunter.com/ I have found that some of the suggestions that the Koha Zoom OPAC offers on misspellings are strange, but some of them are right on. Hopefully that is something that will improve over time. Maybe it needs more Jaunter Lucien too? Stanford recently went live with it. http://www.jaunter.com/
