Need a way to directly filter "empty" bibs from staff searches

[Mike Rylander]

Evergreen version: all

When searching in the staff client (without shelving location filter or availability modifier in use, in very modern versions), the results will include entirely empty bibs so that they can have items attached to them.

It would be good for non-cataloger staff searches to have the ability to filter these records out on demand without requiring the addition of a shelving location (or location group) filter, or the availability modifier.

A WIP branch was produced for bug #1746800 that provides the backend change necessary for an #exclude_empty search modifier. With the addition of a UI component, this would provide the described functionality. Branch available at:

Thanks, Mike. Repeating my request from the other ticket...if the setting is controlled by a check box to exclude empty bibs, could that box be made sticky?
