To rule out version problems I checked whether the code is there, and it is.
I don't understand.


Some more experiments. Two namespaces WormGene and WormPep. Request for 'ZK822.4'.
1) namespace set to 'sprot_hum' => error because 2 rows found (ZK8224 is in both namespaces)
2) namesace undef => error because 2 rows found (ZK8224 is in both namespaces)
3) namespace 'WormGene' => correct bioentry fetched
4) namespace 'WormPep' => correct bioentry fetched
Does this mean that when the namespace is undef or does not exist the system performs a cross-namespace search ?
