Bug Description

Evergreen version: 2.2.3
Also tested in several other 2.2, 2.3 and master catalogs

After limiting a search by a facet, if the user launches a new search from the search bar at the top of the screen, the facet limiter is maintained.

To replicate this problem:

1. Do a catalog search, for example, "paulsen hatchet"
2. Click on one of the facets in the left sidebar, for example, "Paulsen, Gary"
3. Use the searchbox at the top of your list of hits to do a different search. The gary paulsen facet limiter is maintained in the URL, leading to an unsuccessful search.

This doesn't affect our libs now, since we are using Evergreen 2.2 that doesn't maintain the selected facets when you click on Search button. (In the search form, there are not hidden "facet" input)
You can check here -> http://campbelld.mnpals.net/eg/opac/home
But I think this affect others (using ver 2.3) and our libs if we update to use Evergreen 2.3 and so on, since you inserted a hidden facet input into search form to keep the selected facet values.
So now, I have a question. Why do you want to maintain the selected facets when click on Search button again?
Is that important?
Because if you don't have the hidden "facet" input, this bug will not happen.
I will ask our libs about this question after holiday vacation also.
Merry Xmas, eveyone.
