Navigating the Catalog Search Challenge
It's possible you've encountered this in your searching experience: you type in the title of a book, and it either says something like "unavailable for display" or it sends you to the location page and there isn't anything under "on shelf location." We've set up this demo with some tips to navigate around this.
