Bug Description
When searching for courses in the OPAC, "Instructor" initially does not display as a search option. Only the Course Name and Course Number search options display. After searching or browsing by either the Course Name or Course Number, the Instructor search option does display on the menu. The same is true when browsing for courses.
Please see attached screencast.

Testing instructions from the commit message:
1) In the Library settings editor, set Course Materials Module Opt In
to true for BR1.
2) In the Library settings editor, set Search by Instructor to true
for BR1.
3) In eg.conf, add the line:
SetEnv physical_loc 4
4) Restart httpd
5) Go to your OPAC. Note that the OPAC is at the BR1 level, and that
course search and browse options are available.
6) Click Search courses.
7) Note that only two values are available in the qtype dropdown: Course
Name and Course Number.
8) Apply this patch.
9) Repeat steps 5-6.
10) Note that the screen now appropriately consults the value for the
"Search by Instructor" setting at the BR1 level, with an "Instructor"
value now available in the qtype dropdown.
