add "recent search" to checkout browse (used when staff search catalogue to place holds)
The "recent search" in Search/Holds allows Libraries to determine how many past searches are saved. This is a huge benefit for staff when they are performing reference interviews with customers.
This "recent search" option is not available in the checkout browse workflow.
Our library has multiple bib records for DVD TV series (eg. Season 1, Season 2 etc). Staff that assist customers to place holds at the circulation desk struggle to place holds on these DVDs because they must keep typing the same title again and again into the checkout browse search query.
We have communicated to staff they can cut + paste the phrase, but they would like to see the "recent search" option that is available in the Search/Holds search.
Additionally, customers change their minds when placing holds at the circulation desk. Staff search for a title, and the customer decides later in the reference interview that they want that title staff searched for earlier in the conversation.
