When performing a search from the staff client or the OPAC with independent branches enabled you get independent branch results. However, upon sorting the aforementioned results you get back results from all branches.
Kyle, could you check this bug report? I am not sure I understand the problem described. We don't filter bibliographic searches yet I think, but you can't search for patrons in the OPAC... so I am confused.
No reply here since 2013, I am closing INVALID.
