limit here is limit=BN, not limit=holdingbranch%3ABN, which causes an item not from this library (Bison) showing in search results

On the advanced search area, when you limit to a specific library in the availability limits, the resultant search string is:

/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?idx=au&q=janet&op=and&idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&limit=E&sort_by=relevance

where the limit is: limit=E for holding branch...the limit should be

/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?idx=au&q=evanovich+janet&op=and&idx=kw&op=and&idx=kw&limit=holdingbranch%3ABN&sort_by=relevance

limit=holdingbranch%3ABN

This means that currently a limit for a specific library will return books not in that library.

I ran into this problem today on 17.05.01.

The workaround I came up with was to create a library group, and add to this group the specific library I wanted to search.  Then in the search form, I selected that library group.

I'm not familiar with the code, but I did take a quick look, and couldn't see a way to fix this just in advsearch.tt.  The language limit is handled correctly there through the use of a FOREACH loop that inserts "ln,rtrn:" in front of the language name in the option value.  But the branch limit is handled by a call to options_for_libraries.  That function, in html_helpers.inc, doesn't seem to allow a prefix to be inserted in front of the option value.

So it looks like the branch selector in advsearch.tt should have a name other than "limit", and in search.pl this param should be handled separately from the other "limit" params, by inserting the prefix "limit=holdingbranch:" in front of the branch name.

Of course, due to my ignorance, I could be entirely wrong about all this :-) .

It's definitely a regression introduced by Bug 15758:

-        [% FOREACH branchloo IN branchloop %]
-        [% IF ( branchloo.selected ) %]
-        <option value="branch:[% branchloo.value %]" selected="selected">[% branchloo.branchname %]</option>
-        [% ELSE %]
-        <option value="branch:[% branchloo.value %]">[% branchloo.branchname %]</option>
-        [% END %]
-        [% END %]
+        [% PROCESS options_for_libraries libraries => Branches.all() %]

I think I'll just write a patch to add an optional prefix to html_helpers.inc to restore the original syntax.

Bug 18884 - Advanced search on staff client, Availability limit not properly limiting

Bug 15758 accidentally removed the branch: prefix off the
individual library limits on the advanced search in the staff client.

This patch adds an optional prefix to the html_helpers.inc file,
so that advsearch.tt can provide the required "branch:" prefix.

_TEST PLAN_

Before applying:
0) Make sure you have branches in your Koha (e.g. select all sample data
via web installer initially)
1) View the source on the staff client advanced search, and note that
the "branch:" prefix is missing from the individual library limit:

<option value="CPL">Centerville</option>

3) Apply the patch
4) Refresh the advanced search page
5) View the source on the staff client advanced search, and note that
the "branch:" prefix now appears for the individual library limit:

<option value="branch:CPL">Centerville</option>
Comment 4 David Cook 2017-10-10 01:16:24 UTC
Note that the fix I've done isn't exactly the one that the OP asked for.

"branch" is actually mapped to "homebranch" in ccl.properties, and the "Individual libraries" limit in the staff client advanced search has always used "branch:". 

If one wanted to differentiate between holding branch and home branch, I think that would be an enhancement, whilst my patch simply fixes a regression.

Dilan, you are not supposed to remove the test plan from the original patch :)
Thanks for your signoff!

Upping severity a bit, it impacts stable releases.
