QA Comment on 5888:
Still have my doubts on this feature. 
The usability is IMO the biggest issue. Please note my earlier comment 13. If I
just want to search on the author I click on, I do not want to click again on
Search.
If I have some more authors and subject, the page even needs to be scrolled
down before reaching the buttons. This would mean 1 click, 1 scroll and another
click instead of the previous 1 click.
If I want to search on two subjects, I will type them just as fast in the
search box as selecting them in the menu? 
All together, I would prefer this option to be controlled by a syspref (default
disabled), or offer the new menu in a different way. 
You could e.g. add a last option to the subject line like "Combined subject
search" (only if #subjects>1) and present the menu then.
Comment 16 suggests that this is less readable. But note that is only one extra
link at the end. No large effect on readability, but usability is kept or even
improved.

Another minor point: If I want to remove the menu again, it should be possible
without the need to scroll and click. In the case of more authors and subjects,
the Cancel button cannot be reached rightaway. Could you add a Close or X
button at the top to remove the menu?
Another minor point: It is working on normal view only, but not on xslt. 

Since all comments are on a functional level, I will set this patch to In
Discussion and first send a mail to the QA team.
