Bug Description
Here are the circumstances that produce this result:
1. Perform a search in TPAC and locate a title that has holdings in multiple libraries.
2. Click on the barcode for one of the copies. This opens Item Status.
3. User desires to view another copy at another location so opts for Show in Catalog.
4. Title appears, but the user wants to change the scope to view holdings in other libraries so the user makes another selection under Library.
5. "Please enter a search term in the search box" appears forcing the user to relaunch the search (assuming it is not still present in another tab).
This was seen at 2.9.

Good Afternoon Scott!
With this workflow, I think it's because the user is selecting Show in Catalog. When you select this option, the Search box is actually blank. So, the staff may be re-scoping the library, but there is nothing (title, author, keyword, etc) specific listed to search. I tested this in 2.9, 2.7, and 2.6 with the same results.
