We request the ability to display search profiles, scopes, and slots separately and selectively in Simple and Advanced Search. Today, any search profile added to a search configuration automatically appears in both Simple and Advanced Search together; it is not possible to configure them separately. We would like the option to display the profiles, scopes, and slots in Simple Search only, or Advanced Search only, or both. We request this at all levels of search profile/scope/slot configuration. We have developed scopes based on special collections. Given the nature of the content, it would be beneficial to only have scopes available in Advanced Search and not in our main Simple Search bar. We also have some functionality we developed that only works in a 'library only' search profile. However, we do not want to add scoped searching into our main Simple Search bar but only Advanced. If this feature were added, with the granularity to allow scopes ONLY in Advanced or Simple Search, it would allow greater functionality and options to libraries. This would allow users to perform a more complex search and with scopes applied (e.g. title and author and date and scope in one go). This enhancement would provide additional parity between the two search options and allow enhanced functionality and options for libraries.
