+Allow Metarecord Search by default
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Before the TPAC, a site could configure the OPAC to use metarecord searching
+by default, via a configuration file.  Here we bring that back.
+
+A new setting called search.metarecord_default is present in
+templates/opac/parts/config.tt2 to enable this feature.  By setting this to
+a true value (normally 1) the TPAC will silently include the #metabib search
+modifier in the search form on any interfaces that do not have a UI component
+that allows the user to control the setting.
