So WHY OH WHY does a simple keyword search for 'Javascript' in my library's catalog pull up The brown tree snake on Guam a comprehensive information source / prepared by Thomas H. Fritts and Dawn Leasman-Tanner?

I am going to pretend I never saw that.

Because it is a CD-ROM and the systems info field is being searched and there is a reference to needing IE to be JavaScript enabled?

Or do you want a fun answer? ;-) I'll try to wrack my brains for one, but looking at the most popular record on WorldCat (bored and curious woman that I am), it seems the most likely answer. Looks like another wild and exciting gov doc (I actually kind of miss working with those sometimes, oddly enough) .

Because Guam is practically Java. I mean, they're almost in the same ocean? Indonesia is right next to the Pacific.

I actually think it's pretty cool that your search doesn't seem to care about spelling--or at least, about extra letters attached to the end. On the other hand that could cause problems, ie searching for "fantastic" and finding "Fanta".
