I've been giving this a second look. Any input on how to make it better?

The search logic is not evident from the get-go and takes some getting used to.

Of course, the Journals search should be mutually exclusive (it doesn't make sense to search for an article in Journal A *and* Journal B). For the subject and tasg however you think you would want more control over the boolean logic.

Let me know if you need more details.

I have no idea how you got the OR, and this appears to default to AND


You've convinced me there's a problem with the UI.  It only narrows the results if you choose a different category (ie, an author in addition to the journal); even your example below is an "or".  I guess we need to report this upstream, see if they have any ideas about improving that.  It might help to have a concrete suggestion.  I wonder if just moving the text "Click on one or more items below to narrow your results." below the already filtered fields would be an improvement?  For example, between the Journal and Subject filters on http://acawiki.org/Special:BrowseData/Summary?Journal=The_Economic_Journal.

Thoughts?
