--- Comment #29 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I agree with Paul that this tool could be better integrated in existing
workflows. Currently you can find duplicates, but you can't create orders or
perform any other actions from the tool.

But better integration would mean a lot more work/rewrite of the feature and it
still might be useful for libraries as it is now (small steps...)

Some things I noted:

1) FindBiblios only searches on biblio.title instead of using the search
engine.

2) I am not sure about the permissions for the new feature:
+ flagsrequired   => { acquisition => 'group_manage', acquisition =>
'order_manage', acquisition => 'order_receive' },
I think as no critical information is shown in the search results we could
maybe  be a bit less strict here. Anyway a check for permissions should be
added to the link in the navigation toolbar, so you can only see the duplicate
finder if you are allowed to use it.

3) On the suggestion result list, the status is shown as in the database and
not translatable. For example: ASKED

4) The patches are also missing unit tests for the new routines FindSuggestions
and FindBiblios.

As these patches are quite old (June 2012), I am not sure if 4) is a failed QA
- leaving this decision to Jared.
