    Also please deactivate FRBR after any advanced search - or at least make it an option for the patron to deactivate:

    > addition of a visibility checkbox or toggle

    What certainly is missing is the option to toggle visible / invisible from the Manage Collections page!

    And come to think of it, I wouldn't really mind if collections that are not visible in Primo (= not in the collection lobby and not showing the path in the details) could still be shown via a direct link.

    It would be the same as 'unpublished' in other contexts (for example photo sharing sites): not findable, but everybody who knows the direct link can see the collection.

    > welcome any other workarounds

    If you want, maybe also post in the Primo mailing group if others had a similar situation and how they solved it.

    (Sorry if you already did this and I forgot.)

    While I understand your wish, I have the feeling that this would be confusing for the patrons, because it would be inconsistent.

    "Why am I seeing the path in the full record display, but can not find it via the collections page?"

    I see two workarounds that would be less confusing, and exist already:

    A) for your second case, use local fields instead of collections

    B) for your second case, use an additional level in the collections. Call the top level something short (like 'others'?), in the description of the top level collection explain what's behind it.
    Like this, you keep the Collections Lobby tidy / only show what you want to show there, but the behaviour of the subcollections within "others" is still consistent.

    I agree that it would help to have more flexibility here.

    As a patron, I'd prefer if my previous pickup library could be preselected, though https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/44908411-define-preferred-pickup-location-in-personal-detai

    My hope is that now that the barcode search is possible via advanced search, this might pave the way for more item information to become searchable.

    In Primo VE, search and browse for call numbers only works for holdings.

    Yes, this is bad UX.

    "Has activity" should be the only option, anyway (until they're all shown on one page).

    > We were able to limit the OTB subject facet to specific vocabularies, such as LCSH.

    We are struggling with this, too.

    If this gets through, the choice of the authority file must be flexible, for us it would be the German GND, for example.

    I consider this a bug and not a feature request.

    I'm really struggling with how to explain to our patrons what the different options in advanced search are, also somehow explaining that not all options work for all fields - and all of this in the label that they see in the pulldown list of options.

    > Our Library (University of Macau Library) would like to add "starts with" in subject search.

    I think you should open a new idea for this and link to it from here.

    So by now the tooltips exist. They really are not a solution in my opinion.

    - mobile doesn't have tooltips
    - if I activate 'starts with - call number' I have to either adapt the tooltip or suppress it

    (Same problem for the tooltips for the new 'is exact phrase' search).

    > And I don't think a tooltip would contribute much to a better user experience.

    I agree.
    Tooltips are not visible on mobile.

    Also, the tooltip seems to have been rolled out by now, but only in English, and I don't remember having seen any information about it?

    By autumn 2023 also 'Starts with – Holding call number' should become possible (NERS 7986).

    > the default search is usually done on the "Any" field

    I don't agree: patrons who only need the "Any" field have no reason to switch to advanced search.

    Patrons who take the step to advanced search are looking for something they couldn't find with a search in the "Any" field.

    This seems like a strange way of "solving" this to me, not least because tooltips are not visible on mobile.

    We already use the workaround of rephrasing the label to inform our patrons about this.

    'Starts with' should only be visible when it actually can be used.

    Liverpool Hope University renamed 'starts with' to 'starts with (titles only)' as a temporary workaround
    https://hope.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=44HOP_INST:VU1&lang=en&mode=advanced

    For the pre-filters under the search field in simple search:
    Configuration –> Discovery –> Labels –> Basic Search Pre-Filters Labels

    For advanced search:
    Configuration –> Discovery –> Labels –> Search Tile Labels

    For multilingual Primo VEs: switch the language above the table, save each change before you go to the next language.
