Reconcile top-level facet selection (one by one vs. multiple)
Currently, if you select top-level facets one by one (e.g. "Peer-reviewed Journals" then "Full Text Online"), you get different results than if you select both facets at once (using the checkboxes and clicking "Apply Filters".) The first applies a boolean AND and the second applies a boolean OR.
Ex Libris support has confirmed that this intended and expected behavior.
This functionality seems confusing to both our patrons and staff. I think I can see the argument if this occurs within certain other facets (e.g. Resource Type), but because this happens with top-level facets that do not otherwise seem like the same sort of facet (e.g. "Peer-reviewed Journals" and "Full Text Online"), our patrons and staff have been finding this to be unexpected behavior.
Requesting that this functionality be revisited, especially when it comes to top-level facets.

I just opened an idea for the other option that was discussed on the list, visual indication:

I'd rather see a clearer indication than a change in functionality.
The functionality is uniform right now.Within a facet type (top-level, resource type, journal title, etc), if you want an OR check each facet and then click the APPLY button. If you want an AND click each facet separately.

Commenting to add that we are not opposed to revisiting this functionality for the other facets as well, it's just the reports/feedback we've gotten have focused on the top-level facets.
