Correct. Because Invenio is so flexible, because besides the main collection trees, you can also create other virtual collections. My proposal would allow anybody visiting your site to restrict their searches to, for example, Ecoles Polytechniques Fédérales (http://doc.rero.ch/collection/EPF?ln=fr), Mémoires niveau bachelor (http://doc.rero.ch/collection/DISSERTATION.TDHES?ln=fr) or satiric journals (when you join La pilule with Le crétin des Alpes in a virtual collection ;-). > It would be nice if the user could manually disable the filter at > will.

If the checkbox (and its value) is sticky, it should appear in the search boxes that appear in each page. Although maybe another text could be useful.

Thanks for your input, Ferran
