This is a much-desired feature for some our patrons. Thank you for your work on this, Terran and Mike!

I have one concern and one question.

Concern:
When you open the carousel in list form and perform a search at the top of the page, the search just searches the list, but this is not obvious. For example, search for "Mozart" from this URL, https://terran-testbox.gapines.org/eg/opac/results?query=&fi:container=bre,carousel,2. Then search for "Coraline". The first search fails, but the second one finds the title in the carousel. There is no on-screen indicator telling the user that their search is just for the carousel.

With a traditional list, there's a checkbox that lets the user know the search will be just for the list, like here: https://terran-testbox.gapines.org/eg/opac/results?bookbag=9

Is there some way to get this indicator with the carousel list?

I never really understand why the traditional list (bookbag) URL doesn't work for carousels. They are already a public container. Would there be some simple way to make carousels work with the traditional bookbag URL?

If not, would Mike's first approach be better since then there is a visual indicator of some form?

Question:
Right now the "(See Complete List)" is at the top left of the carousel. Would it make more visual sense centered underneath the carousel title?
