+= TPAC Metarecord Search and Holds =
+
+This feature adds support for searching and placing holds against 
+metarecords.
+
+== Metarecord Searching ==
+
+In the top search bar and in the advanced search page, there is a new
+search modifier labeled "Group Formats and Editions".  When selected,
+searches are performed against metarecords and metarecords are shown
+in the results list.
+
+For each metarecord, format icons for all constituent records are shown.
+When a use clicks on a metarecord, if the metarecord has multiple
+constituent records, the user is taken to the constituent records
+list.  Similarly, when a metarecord only has one constituent record,
+the user is directed to the record detail page for the constituent
+record.
+
+== Metarecord Holds ==
+
+Clicking the place hold link from the metarecord results page shows
+the available formats and languages for the metarecord, allowing
+the user to limit the scope of the hold.  Non-metarecord holds now
+get a new "Advanced Holds Options" link which allows user to promote
+a title hold to a metarecord hold, thus providing access 
+to the formats / editions selector, before the hold is placed.
+
+In the My Account holds list, icons for all selected formats are 
+displayed in the Format columns for the hold.  When editing a 
+metarecord hold, users may modify the desired formats and languages.
+
+
+== Configuration ==
+
+Admins may disable this feature my un-commenting the "metarecord.disabled"
+attribute in config.tt2
+
