General

• Is it possible to combine the display of 'browse by' values with a search, so that only values are displayed which have related items? E.g. Only display Collection which has released items in it? Is this doable due to performance issues. Do we want that?--Friederike 10:08, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

• Does it make sense here to not display the view item list of this search result, but the researcher portfolio? Here the user would also get additional information on the creator, but it would be inconstisten to other browse by UCs, and the list would not be sortable, filterable...--Friederike 10:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
