Just a note that in later versions of Evergreen, the tab was renamed 
"search & history preferences." I can't remember when that change was 
introduced, so I don't know what you'll see in 2.3.

I also wanted to send along a caution that this setting, although 
utilizing the circulation history, does something that you may not have 
intended. Once a patron opts into tracking their circulation history, 
this setting will highlight items on the search results page that were 
previously circulated to the patron. I've never tested it myself and 
don't know much more about the feature, but I thought you should know in 
case it's not something you wanted to do.
