      The top searchbar is missing an option to easily search for barcodes and catalog numbers, which I would think are far more commonly looked up than CD stubs or events. I think it makes sense to add these to the search bar on the top of the page for ease of access instead of only having these options on the dedicated search page.

          Until barcode and catalog number search is improved making it more visible might not be satisfactory:

Should you be able to use the catalogue number to find an album? [MBS-6502] Catalog number search breaks with spaces and separators [SEARCH-479] Regression: Release catnos not being found with hyphen and wildcard [SEARCH-637] Ignore spaces when parsing barcode in search query [SEARCH-595] SOLR doesn't prompt for check digit in barcode

          Hmm. Those are just specific variants of release search, but that said they might still benefit from more visibility, since you cannot directly do an advanced indexed search from the bar. I certainly have entered "catno:whatever" there, ran the search, then changed it to advanced, which suggests I'd at least benefit from having the options there.
