[Koha] Koha More regarding local call number search/barcodes

[Linda Culberson]

The problem, at least in 3.4, does exist, but changing the query from 
sn,wrdl to sn,phr and bc,wrdl to bc,phr seems to fix it.

But I'm still wondering if there are others - besides call numbers - 
for which this applies.

I apologize for the multiple emails.  I should do more research before I 
email.  I'll try to keep quiet now.

Thanks,
Linda
