Add ability to select multiple options on Advanced Search drop down menus in Primo VE
It is not currently possible to select multiple options on an Advanced Search drop down menu is Primo VE (ex: Material Type, Language); this functionality would be very helpful for users who wish to do more precise searching -- especially since Primo VE lacks the functionality of combining search results. This functionality is the HTML select multiple attribute (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_select_multiple.asp)

Hi all,
This is to update that we were planning to implement this idea in the NDE , but during the implementation stage we understood that it is much more complex than we thought, taking both CDI and local indexes into account where the index infrastructure only allows a single value in the advanced pre- filters. This will require large infrastructure changes in the index. Due to this we are setting the status here to 'Close'.
There is an active CERV candidate for this - and if voted, it will be developed as part of this track.
Regards,
Yael.

Commenting to note that such functionality should be for the Primo UI in general, regardless of deployment model ie for both Primo on Back Office and Primo VE via Alma, with the expectation that development is for functional parity for all customers.
