When the user clicks on the "browse the shelf" feature, is that based solely on the call numbers? Or is there an interaction with the "source item's" branch/library, collection code, shelving location, item type or anything else?
Disclaimer: this is without checking. It looks at the location and the call numbers. It's intended to show the items that would be nearby on the same physical shelf. There's a patch that I wrote that I think is in master (and maybe in the latest stable?) that creates sysprefs that let you pick exactly what it filters on, e.g. being able to switch off caring about location.
Great information Robin, thanks. I'll wade through the sysprefs again next time I upgrade (waiting on the the Debian package) to see if I can find that, I'd love to be able to turn it off. Can anyone point out any possible other complications from re-purposing the shelving location for something like "target audience"? I want to take advantage of the fact that the field shows up in search results, and I don't need it for its original purpose.
