Image showing how user's set library blocks filtering due to allowed pickup locations

When filtering for a specific item on holds page using the search bar, it's currently not feasible to filter by user's set library. When entering the user's set library in the search field, search results won't narrow down because they include the active selection in the Allowed pickup locations column which by default is the user's set Library. 

Filtering by user's own library would be one of the common usages for the search field when placing a hold on a specific item, so it would have more usability if it could be fixed.

See attached image as an example.
