Allow users to personalize default scope for them
Option to allow a Primo user to select which scope they prefer to work with when multiple scopes. Two possibilities - allow this to be set for as a saved option for signed-in users only, or allow this to be set as a cookie for guest users and be saved as a cookie on that computer. This could apppear as a "Personalize" selection.
This will truly empower users - e.g. if they don't want to see Primo Central results most of the time, they will not be hampered by the library's choice of "All" as a default scope. Or if they want to see "All" or "Primo Central" (articles+) most of the time, but the library thinks most users will be better satisfied by the local catalog scope, they can get their wish without having to click into the drop-down list every time (or select a tab, if this is implemented in old UI). They would still have option to select another scope.
Thank you for posting this suggestion. The direction we choose to implement to allow users to easily navigate to their recent used scopes, you can find more details in Primo August release notes – Easy Selection of recent used search scopes. this is planned to be released in Primo VE September release .

Could filter-by-availability vs expanded results be included? Our researchers may have different preferences, and only one can be set as default.
