            Bug ID: 29152
           Summary: Change to default search behavior when limiting by
                    branch
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: Searching

        Depends on: 21249

Prior to bug 21249, branch limits in searching were enforced based on the item
homebranch. Bug 21249 introduces a syspref to control how those limits are
enforced. That's good. But on update the syspref is set to limit based on BOTH
homebranch and holdingbranch. That's bad. 

>From 21249:
$dbh->do(q{INSERT IGNORE INTO systempreferences (variable, value, options,
explanation, type) VALUES ('SearchLimitLibrary', 'both',
'homebranch|holdingbranch|both', "When limiting search results with a library
or library group, use the item's home library, or holding library, or both.",
'Choice')});

Should we not make that default to homebranch in order to not silently change
how searches work? This makes a *huge* difference in search results.
