I'm not sure. I can imagine situations where librarians would wish to have the
pull-down and also an opposite one.

I agree that the name SearchMyLibraryFirst is a bit misleading but we have it
like this from ages. Somehow it is correct and logical: search my library
*first*, because it is selected as default, and if you did not find choose all
libraries and now search everywhere. This is how it used to work and how what
users are used to. 

The described problem arose in an environment of an union catalogue where with
settings as described. After an upgrade the users complained that they are
unable to search for other libraries resources when logged in. After logging
off the are. This is not only inconvenient, it seems to not be logical.

The problem seems to be caused by Bug 36742 where the author and the testers
apparently missed this use case and over-limitted the display of 'All
libraries' option. So I would regard my patch as a follow-up to 36742.
