Using the search option while looking at somebody else's catalog: when using 'all fields' you get redirected to your own catalog.

Probably related with the "search group members' libraries" bug that kathrynnd posted here.

Related to this, if a non-member searches a catalog using "all fields", the system just hangs up.

We have a non-profit account and want to make our catalog searchable by our friends. While we will encourage them to become members, we don't want that to be a requirement. In both cases, either the bug listed above by Sunny or the bug mentioned here prevents them from doing effective searches.

Same here: when not signed in, searching 'all fields' while looking at a catalog opens a newbrowser page which stays blank.

It's working now.
