--- Comment #7 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
Just to explain why this is not as easy of a fix as it might sound:

The information if an item is on hold or in transfer is only found in the
reserves table right now. it's not part of the item records. 

In order to be able to exclude these from the availability search, the
information needs to be made available to the search engines. 

This means: The information needs to be added to the records, for example into
otherwise unused MARC fields at the time of indexing. And every time a hold
changed status, we'd need to automatically trigger reindexing of the record.

At the moment the filter only looks at information in the item record already.
