The only way to access item search is through the drop down Search link in the top bar. It would be helpful to have a "button" to the item search on the main page, like there is for Advanced Search. The item search is heavily used, and having a more prominent way to access it would be helpful.

Trivial, passing QA, understand if RM wants outside opinion :-)
Created attachment 123834 [details] [review] Bug 28819: (follow-up) Use stacked icons for different searches This patch modifies the staff interface home page so that the "Advanced search" and "Item search" links are differentated using stacked Font Awesome icons. To test, apply the patch and view the staff interface home page. The icons associated with advanced and item searches should be different: - The Advanced search link should have a magnifying glass icon on top of a grey book icon. - The Item search link should have a magnifying glass icon on top of a grey list icon.
I talked Fridolin out of doing this in Bug 24088, but I guess this is a sign it really is wanted. I hope my follow-up helps.

Created attachment 123968 [details] [review] Bug 28819: Fix advanced search button on mainpage.pl incorrectly links to item search The previous follow-up changed the link for the Advanced search button on mainpage.pl. Test plan : 1) Go to intranet main page 2) Click on big button "Advanced search" => Without patch you go to item search /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/itemsearch.pl => With patch you go to advanced search /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl
Follow-up pushed to master.
