Comment 5 for bug 1573734

I have some work on this:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/blake/LP1573734_Link_to_sibling_metarecord_bibs_in_record_detail_page

I would like to get some feedback from the developers on this one. Use this for example:

http://sb1.missourievergreen.org/eg/opac/record/1647802

The hyperlink for each of the formats is working just fine with blank search criteria but when you want to see all of the bibs in the metarecord without searching for anything, the server search code rejects the search:

View all (12) formats and editions:
http://sb1.missourievergreen.org/eg/opac/results?locg=1;detail_record_view=0;modifier=metabib;metarecord=261488
(no results)

If I change the link slightly:
http://sb1.missourievergreen.org/eg/opac/results?locg=1;detail_record_view=0;modifier=metabib;metarecord=261488;query=*

It works but it's not ideal. I don't like "hacking" it by searching for asterisk. Any suggestions on this? Should I edit the search code to allow for a blank query as long as there is a metarecord specified? Perhaps search for * and not display it in the TPAC? What is the best approach?
