Comment 1 for bug 1141292

One thing I'm not entirely sure about is eliminating the focus from basic search on the place hold page also affects the public catalog view for patrons when they're logged in and creating holds. The field for hold user doesn't exist for them, so they don't get a focus to it; there doesn't appear to be any focused text input fields at all. But I feel that not having the focus on the search box is fine in that scenario. With creating a hold, I would suppose users are most interested in checking their hold options (pickup, notification, etc.) and then hitting the Submit button to place the hold and not looking to see what search term they were using prior to placing that hold.

Either way, not sure if it's a problem or not really a big deal.
