# It appears that the Branch selection box in the Advanced People Search form only shows branches if the user is assigned to a branch, but it does show all branches. I don't really understand why it would not let all users select a branch to search.  Should this mod work the same way that the Advanced People Search does?

# It appears that the Branch selection box in the Advanced People Search form only shows branches if the user is assigned to a branch, but it does show all branches. I don't really understand why the native branch search option works the way it does - if a user assigned to branch x can see and select branches y and z, I would expect logged in users who aren't assigned to a branch to be able to select branches y and z (and x, of course). But it is what it is.  Should this branch selection in the drop-down search work the same way as the selection in the Advanced search form?

# What else?

# We don't often see "option groups" in selection boxes, but the tree/branch hierarchy could quite readily be represented by option groups, thus removing the tree  name from the front of every branch name.  What do you think?

# Anything else?
