Authorities module home

For libraries using the authorities module, it would be helpful to have the option to change the default authority search, rather than Koha always defaulting to search the Main Heading ($a only). This could be achieved by adding a system preference with the search options currently present in the green toolbar in the authorities module ($a Main heading ($a only), Main heading, All headings, and Entire record). The library could then choose which search is the default for their instance.
