Bug Description
Search filters in the staff client Catalog Keyword Search are not working as expected. Particularly, searching by shelving location or “All Copy Locations”.

From our discussion on the list, the primary issue is not that the filters don't work, but rather staff client searches return empty bibs in most searches so that catalogers can find bibs that might match searches.
While cleaning up empty bibs (bibs with no holdings attached) would help the specific library have cleaner search returns, the consensus was that a check box to exclude empty bibs as well as search weighting that would put bibs with items at the top of the returns.
It may also be advantageous when a specific shelving location is selected for a search, particularly if we could again search with this filter with no value in the search boxes, that the search doesn't return empty bibs.
