Description Savitra Sirohi 2012-02-21 05:12:56 UTC
Some libraries (e.g. commercial libraries in India) prefer to show their catalog only to logged in members. 

This change will create a system preference "opacsearchaccesscontrol". This preference will have values of "anonymous" and "loggedinuser". 

Default value of the system preference will be "anonymous".

If the system pref is set to "loggedinuser", search will be available only to logged in users.

Hi Savitra,
I think we already have a syspref that allows to do that (if I understand your description correctly): OpacPublic

Yep this already exists in 3.6.x and master (not sure about 3.4.x)
