Bug Description
Currently, if you navigate to Numeric Search and perform such a search, you must navigate back to Numeric Search to do further searches of the same type.
It would be much better if the search box on the results page were populated in such a way so that it could be edited to modify the search. This would require to changes:
1. The search box should be populated with a human readable version of the search, e.g. isbn:0545010225 or call_num:PS301 or barcode:
2. The search grammar must be updated to recognize searches entered as in #1.
This also would have the advantage of allowing more proficient users to perform their numeric searches from any screen, without having to navigate to the numeric search page in the first place.
In the Angularized staff catalog (also known as the "Experimental" Staff Catalog), if you do a Numeric search you can initiate a new numeric search of the same type from the search box at the top of the search results screen. This will be the default staff catalog in Release 3.6.
