--- Comment #56 from Ere Maijala <ere.maijala at helsinki.fi> ---
So, we now have two competing efforts to provide sort of an index browse: this
and bug 22592. This allows for fuzziness, which I suppose could be useful, but
bug 22592 aims to fix the existing index scan in the staff interface. I'd be
fine with using this method (if it can be made to work properly) instead of the
facet prefix method in the other bug, but I think it should be wired to the
index scan functionality in staff UI too.

There are also a couple of issues that need a bit of further attention:

- "Browse interface" is a poor link text. Since the actual breadcrumb uses
"Browse search", why not use that in the menu too?

- I'm not quite following the logic of how the actual fuzziness is determined,
and it's not obvious in the UI that what the user chooses may not be what they
get. At the very least there should be comments in the code describing why it
does what it does.

- Looks like a longer term may get truncated causing the search for records to
fail. An example subject term I encountered is "A history of geographical
discovery in the sevente"

- I think the UI needs to be polished a bit more. Currently you may get a long
list where the whole page scrolls, and clicking on any of the results further
down in the list won't have any apparent effect. Maybe make the browse list a
scrollable box or something?
