            Bug ID: 22173
           Summary: Search Groups broken by change in expected structure

           Product: Koha

  Target Milestone: ---

The original logic of Search Groups using the heirarchical library groups was
to enable search groups on a root group and have each sub group be a search
group listed in the pulldown:

RootGroup:
   SearchGroup1:
        LibraryA
        LibraryB
   SearchGroup2:
        LibraryC
        LibraryD
   SearchGroup3:
        LibraryE
        LibraryF

At some point, the code was changed to expect the each search group to be the
root group:

RootSearchGroup1:
    LibraryA
    LibraryB

RootSearchGroup2:
    LibraryC
    LibraryD

RootSearchGroup3:
    LibraryE
    LibraryF

It's likely that both styles are being used in production now with different
versions. If a library upgrades, their search groups will be broken. If we
revert the change, currently up to date libraries will have search groups
broken.

Instead, we should accommodate both configurations.

So, if a root group has libraries as direct children, it should be displayed as
a search group. If it does not, we should display the child search groups
instead.
