Find Tool Customization
Currently there are a lot of search options that many of our staff do not use within the search tool. I would love a way to customize this per user either to have favorites that float to the top or a way to suppress options that can still be quickly revealed for those extra rare use cases.

I was just using the find tool. And it's great that you can pick one favorite; however, there are multiple items I use regularly. There are also some I never use and never will. I was thinking it would be great if we could arrange it to have them in order of need.

Multiple favorites (or a custom user view) within the Find Tool would streamline workflows for staff who regularly use multiple search paths.
I regularly use paths for SQL searches for bibliographic and item records, and Power searches for patron, bibliographic and item records. Quick access to these direct paths would be great.
Our frontline staff navigate past multiple options as they switch between patron and bibliographic searches, especially when filtering the initial search and skip the native search box in the header.
