Hi all,

In response to Laura's comment, I thought I'd share that at UBC we've
included the 'direct-to-page-link' functionality in our Open Collections
search interface
<https://open.library.ubc.ca/search?q=trout&p=0&sort=0&view=1&circle=n&dBegin=&dEnd=&c=2&collection=bcnewspapers>.
It is not loaded by default (you must select the 'detailed view' option, or
click to expand a particular result) because, as Chad mentioned, it has
quite a bit of overhead and in our testing only some (very vocal) users
consistently clicked the links. We use ElasticSearch, but it works much the
same way Josh described: Firing additional queries for each 'compound
object' to search the page-level full text metadata.
