This particular snippet is several years old. It allowed a visitor to
toggle "all books" or just "new books" on a scan page. It required the
search variables already to exist in the session and it functioned
as a persistent "toggle". I think it selected a different query,
but it could just as well be used to show or hide thumbnails.
Nowadays we'd do this with perl and build the query appropriately. :-)
At any rate, the only conceptual block is that you can only submit one form
or one link at a time so you must plan the flow. We had this snippet in
the navbar on every page with an explanation about how it affected the views.
