My experience with IndependentBranches is that it is bad to have a
system preference that does many things.
I had rather have 10 system preferences that allows to add 10 well
defined things than have one system preference for 2 different parts of
Koha QueryAutoTruncate is for catalogue, either create a new system
preference for Patrons : PatronSearchAutoTruncate

My 2cts.
