Carriage Return in OPAC Search Issues

[Elizabeth Davis]

Currently, in the patron OPAC (bootstrap OPAC), when a patron enters their search terms they can't just press the enter key on their keyboard. They have to tab over to the Search button and then press the enter key to start the search.

PaILS/SPARK is currently on 3.11.2 and we'd like to see the carriage return initiate the search.

Confirmed. The new autosuggest code introduced in bug 1187993 currently doesn't account for the case where the user hasn't selected one of the suggestions and simply wants to submit the form by pressing enter.

Thanks, Galen and Elizabeth! We checked this in the collaborative code review session today, it works great, and the test passes. Pushed to rel_3_11 and above with signoffs by Blake, Steven, and me.
