Moving @celtic-coder 's issue here.

Missing appeared but NOT missing creators: https://pldb.com/search?q=missing+appeared%0D%0AnotMissing+creators%0D%0Aselect+creators

It would appear that select always selects the Title column, regardless of anything else in the select statement. Is this the default? Can it be changed?

Missing creators (3,585): https://pldb.com/search?q=missing+creators

Again, without even a select statement, the Title field is returned. It makes sense to have this as a default, but again, can this be changed?

@SRS-WRKS 's request:

can i change which field is allowed to link to to pldb entry ? If i want to select type from pldb entry and make the type field link to the pldb programming entry's page ?

Also: Should links be clickable in columns automatically? Could be done at the scroll level.
