--- Comment #6 from Sally <sally.healey at cheshiresharedservices.gov.uk> ---
Sorry, I have a note of dissent here.

I think the idea is great - having the drop down menu available, mirroring the
OPAC functionality, would be very useful.

But I disagree with this part:  "and by default, should limit to the library
you are logged in to, with the option via the dropdown to search all
libraries."

The default search option on the OPAC is customisable, using the
'SearchMyLibraryFirst' preference.  

I think that the configuration for this should be similarly customisable,
because reading through the bug report, my stance would be opposite to Donna's.

Obviously, both workflows are equally valid - and it will entirely depend on
the library's set up.

Is it possible to have a second system preference so the default search
behaviour could be configured?  For example:  

IntranetAddMastheadLibraryPulldown:  Show
SearchLoggedInLibraryFirst:  Yes

This meets Donna's criteria - defaulting the search to the logged in library.

Or:  

IntranetAddMastheadLibraryPulldown:  Show
SearchLoggedInLibraryFirst:  No

This meets our criteria - having the drop down menu visible so it can be used,
but defaulting to 'All Libraries'.
