• To use the search box or the "Show records" box, do not hit "Enter"—just click outside the search box and it should work.
• The same principle applies to showing more than ten records; enter the number you want to display and then click outside the box.
• You can't go back to browse after you've searched for a record or changed the number of items; instead refresh the entire page.
