Allow users to add all results to basket

[Ruth Frasur]

Submitted by Elizabeth Thomsen

Users can currently select all records that are displayed on the current page of search results in the catalog and have them added to the basket, but to add all results, they have to page through the results and select all on each page. It would be more convenient to provide the option to select all.

The attached image shows this feature in OverDrive Marketplace.

I’d nervous about this given the low precision of our searches. Folks may not realize that the results on later pages aren’t relevant to them.

We (MassLNC circa 2017) originally decided against this at the time of development, i.e. decided to not allow it due to possible result set size, load concerns, and the like. If there is change in the new OPAC, that will preclude load concerns, I would support this, otherwise I prefer current functionality be maintained.

Just wanted to note that the ability to add all search results (up to 1000) to a basket was added to the Angular staff catalog in Release 3.7: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1885179

Unclear whether users in the idea was referring to staff or patrons (or both.)
