Bug Description
Evergreen 3.11.1
When clicking on the links on the staff view tab in a record Evergreen searches the entire consortium rather than following the current search scope.
If a staff member is trying to find other books by the author or on the subject that can be borrowed from their library or borrowing zone they can't use the links; instead they have to do a new search with their expected search scope.
For example, I search for Bay of sighs at LIBRARY A. The patron wants to know what else the library has by Nora Roberts so I click on Roberts, Nora in the author field on the staff view tab for the record. Because I did my search at LIBRARY A and that is what still shows in the search form I expect my search results to be a list of items that LIBRARY A holds. Instead Evergreen searches the entire consortium and returns 2471 results for Nora Roberts, many of which aren't available to my patron as they're held at libraries that LIBRARY A doesn't do reciprocal borrowing with. If I do an author search at LIBRARY A I get 184 results which is what is actually available to the patron.

This was initially reported in Bug #2020795 because it was discussed during development but determined "out of scope" for the project.
Marking this bug a duplicate, but adding the additional details from this bug as a comment to that one.
