Thanks Steve and Patrick.

We assumed it would not be a violation, but wanted to double check. Yesterday we discovered that it's not like that with every product they have. If you go to their home page the search bar is a search bar, same with a few of the eBooks we tested in our catalogue. So the experience varies depending on what product the user is using. Which is even more confusing for users. We are hoping the database interface in question is an anomaly and not a indicator of a vendor wide change they have in the works. We plan to give them feedback.

Thanks,

Andy
