[Koha] Search not working after upgrade

Bonjour Monsieur Blanchard,

The problem seems to be related to the branch limit.  From what I saw, 
the branch id for Bluefield High School is 314, so the search should 
indicate something like :

kw,wrdl: math' with limit(s):'branch:314'

I would check why the branch in the request is Bluefield High School and 
not 314. This is problably related to the combobox from which the user 
pick its branch.

Hope that helps,
