We don't test with IE very much, and it might take a while until we get to this. But I don't think you need to worry too much about this, because less then 5% of all visitors to BibBase pages actually use IE or Edge:



That's just a style decision. The default theme/CSS style hide the bibbase_icon_text elements and show the bibbase_icon elements instead. To show the text instead of the icons you can either change the CSS rules for these CSS classes accordingly, or use one of the predefined themes that already use that, e.g.:


http://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fclulab.cs.arizona.edu%2Fpapers%2Fclulab.bib&theme=side

The filter value is a regular expression. So "Lau[^a-z]" should work for you.

There is a suffix on the URL "&msg=embed". Just remove that and the message will no longer show. It should have been removed already when using any of snippets in that message.

There were two problem: the field name to filter authors on is `authors` (not author), but also, it can be very tricky to use the right syntax when using zotero, because some of the arguments need to be encoded, so that BibBase doesn't interpreted them but passes them on to Zotero (e.g., format). But others, the ones for BibBase, must not be. In your case you were using an encoded representation of the ampersand, which meant it was forwarded to Zotero, but it needs to be interpreted by BibBase.


This link works:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://api.zotero.org/groups/986230/items?key=toLYm4ZmsffGetBPhyaSe8eU%26format=bibtex%26limit=100&filter=authors:Karlsson

Similarly, to filter by year you would use, e.g.:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://api.zotero.org/groups/986230/items?key=toLYm4ZmsffGetBPhyaSe8eU%26format=bibtex%26limit=100&filter=year:2007



When you say "search" do you perhaps mean filter? If yes, then the answer is yes (see the "filter" option described on the help page in the options section). If no, then I don't understand what you are trying to do, since your visitors can just use the search of their browsers to search within the page.

The count is always the number of direct sub-items, so the counts on the types are the number of year groups appearing within that. By that measure, the counts seem correct. Showing the total count (of the leafs) is not currently supported when using sub-groups.

Hi Kenneth,


Thank you so much for reporting this. It allowed me to discover a bug in our caching logic! When using nocache the cache was bypassed but a new cache entry was created (rather then the old one updated). So probably at one point there was a broken bib file and the page was loaded with nocache, and every since the cache was referring to that.


I've cleared the cache and the page is fine again now. We'll also get that bug fixed right away.


Thanks again!
