Comment 9 for bug 1991708

There is a branch available for another LP bug (1746800) that adds a search modifier for excluding empty bibs in a staff search, and with a sticky checkbox (perhaps that defaults based on a setting/preference) I think it would do what's needed.

I link it here as a starting point, not a full solution, because it needs the checkbox and whatever is decided for the default behavior recording mechanism.
