Created attachment 116780 [details] Wanted feature in opac-course-reserves.pl Hi, There is a search bar feature in the OPAC's course reserve page (opac-course-reserves.pl). It would be great if that same type of search bar could also be found in the public lists page (opac-shelves.pl?op=list&category=2). It should be helpful for any OPAC that has multiple pages of public lists to manage and go trough. I've added a screen shot of the desired search box.
+1 - I'm currently looking at the OPAC of a library that's been on Koha for a long time and has nearly 700 public lists. Searching would make them much more usable.
Adding a search form is easy when the table in question is a DataTable--the feature is built in, and only the table initiation needs to be changed. It's a different story for tables which are paginated server-side. A search function which can search across all pages also has to happen server-side. I don't know enough about the lists code to know whether this is an easy task or not.
Bug 27711 asked for an option to categorize/create a tabbed display for public lists. Linking this see also as both seem to aim to improve the GUI for a big number of lists.
One of our academic library clients is also looking for a way to ease patrons search within the public lists page. As Katrin said, it makes sense to add a category on a list, the same way categories are used in the saved report page. With these, it would help to filter and target specific things (e.g., patron groups or item types or themes).
