    Agreed that the current collapsed display does not provide enough contextual information for the user.

    Re: FRBR Preferred allowing patrons to get to the title they are looking for with only a few clicks --
    Just a quick caveat that this works if there is only a single title that matches the patron's search criteria, but any 2nd, 3rd, etc. matching work would still be lost in the FRBR group. And I worry in that case that the patron would mistakenly believe that only one match exists.

    I've been interested to find some examples of discovery tools that put FRBR options in the hands of the end user. For example, WorldCat Discovery has "Group this search" settings, with option to enable/disable "Group related editions" and "Group variant records." Here's an example and screenshot from my university: https://buffalo.on.worldcat.org/search?queryString=iliad%20lattimore&clusterResults=true&groupVariantRecords=false&changedFacet=scope&scope=sz%3A36346
    It would be so exciting and helpful to our researchers if similar controls could be provided in Primo, for the FRBR settings!
    In one of our Sandbox test views, I've added an External Search option to "Search without grouping," which sends the terms searched into a near-duplicate view with FRBR suppressed (https://suny-buf-psb.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,hamlet%20olivier&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=MyInstitution&vid=01SUNY_BUF:catalog&lang=en&offset=0) -- but this is not a good solution because it requires the campus to maintain a separate view. But if the FRBR settings could be easy user-controlled toggles (like "Expand My Results" and "Search in Full Text", this would be a great solution.

    It is also very difficult for users who may craft an Advanced Search in Primo blended scopes and then use the Newspapers Search facet expecting to send this Advanced Search into Newspapers -- who then find that their search terms have not been passed to Newspapers but instead lead to a blank search box in Newspapers. This illustrates for us that users are trying to accomplish Advanced Searches for Newspaper content, so it would be extremely helpful for this functionality to be supported.

    Here's the css that our webmaster (University at Buffalo Libraries) suggests adding to the css file:

    To display the facet select boxes persistently:

    .multiselect-facet-group.multiselect-inactive .md-chip md-checkbox {
    transform: scaleX(1);
    }

    To display the facet Exclude boxes persistently:

    .section-content .md-chips .md-chip .md-chip-remove-container .md-button {
    opacity: 1;
    }

    You can see it at https://suny-buf-psb.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=01SUNY_BUF:ExLib_Default_for_Test

    It is so disappointing that the statement of responsibility is not displayed in Primo and that it seems impossible to add to the display in Primo VE without many negative impacts on citations, file export, sorting, etc.

    A day and/or week embargo option would really help us and our users very much -- we have some newspapers with current issue only access, and it's impossible for us to indicate accurate coverage with current settings.

    A way to prominently display additional information about the circulation status upfront is greatly needed. Our system is configured to display non-circulating items as Not Loanable -- but they still display as Available, which is confusing to users. Being able to display some combination of availability, such as Available - In Library Use Only, etc. would make a much better, less confusing experience for our researchers.
