[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC Main search drop down

[Thomas Berezansky]

If available I recommend using the OPAC Visible, Search Label, and "Is  
Simple Selector" options. The latter puts the option above a "--" line  
to keep it at the top and is most useful with "code" values that are  
comma delimited sets (like, say, "a,t" to get both kinds of language  
material). Turning OPAC Visible off will hide values without needing  
to delete them, and the Search Label overrides Value for the search  
boxes but allows the MARC values to appear in reports if they are  
based on reading things from the value maps as a translator for human  
benefit.
