<h4><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue;font-weight:normal">This can bring different search outcomes that may lead to students / patrons missing potential resources. To get the maximum results, please advise users to search from the Powersearch
homepage. If you start your search on the Common Menu page, simply click Continue without entering any search terms. That will get you to the PowerSearch homepage.

For example, compare these two searches for Marxist literary criticism. If prompted for a password, use

that it is a known issue, and a future update will include using the same search algorithm for both interfaces.
