Description

It would be useful for a subset of related titles to be searched together as a group. For example a collection with 4 titles published by the same organization or on the same topic. In this way the search box could find relevant results in any of the titles.

Research direction

Start by tracing the search-box implementation and how related title collections are represented. Clarify how a collection is defined, which titles may be searched together, and what result and permission behavior is expected. Done means searches return relevant results across all titles in a selected collection without changing unrelated searches.
