Sentry Crash Report:

Description Elizabeth 2013-05-08 04:34:29 UTC 
I noticed that searching in Pubmed return no items or the result is not the expected. I have been used tellico since 1 year without any problem but about 2 months ago the search in pubmed don't find my requests. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.internet search
2. "Stem cell competition: finding balance in the niche"  in Search box and "Title". Any search (Title, Person Keyword, doi, pubmed id,) in PUBMED has failures. 
3. "Entrez Database" in search source
4. Search button 
Actual Results:  
"The  search return no items"
Comment 1 michael.zugaro 2013-06-04 14:15:43 UTC 
I am experiencing a similar problem. Most queries for references published in 2013 fail (queries for older references seem to work, however).

Example:

1. Internet search
2. dragoi[au] tonegawa[au] 2013[dp]
3. "Entrez Database" in search source
4. Search button 

The same search on PubMed does retrieve the appropriate reference.

I hope this is not too difficult to fix. Thank you for tellico!

Fix the Entrez/Pubmed fetcher to grab all results

Apparently, adding the retstart parameter to the summary url causes
some searches to fail to return results. Change the request to only
use retstart when continuing a search (when retstart > 1).

Add unit test for Pubmed results, as well.
FIXED-IN: 2.3.8
