True, and still a useful tip, but it's also an excuse for me to mention one
of my favorite enhancements in the Angular Staff Catalog, Release 3.7, "The
staff catalog can now save all search results (up to 1,000) to a bucket in
a single operation."

Here's a screenshot of search results for physical material with *Ukrain* *in
the subject index. Under the *Basket Actions*, I have a new option to *Add
All Search Results *which does just that (up to 1,000 records.)  And when I
choose *Add Basket to Bucket*, I get the option to add to an existing
bucket, a new bucket, or a shared bucket -- very nice!

A real benefit for staff using this method of selecting records is that
they are using the catalog search interface with familiar options and
limiters, rather than a different search syntax.in my old favorite *Record
Bucket Query* option!
