I will provide a followup for these 2 points.

I will ask the customer for an answer.

The goal is to browse results, not to export them or any other actions.

I am not sure that it changes the existing feature. If you click on a detail
link (from the result list), you browse all results. If you want to browse
selected biblios, you have to click on the new link "browse selected biblios"
above the result list. It is 2 different features (but using the same browser
UI).

Yes, it is the current behavior. I think this feature should be used using the
next/previous links.
