Yes this is correct. Having ea-based searches in the fallback page would
be great, and recID based searches (with their limitations) in the AID
pages. Getting to that state is urgent. Then we spend time getting to
the AID search enabled.

I would not bother with this. Instead patch existing behavior as best as
possible in short time and work on integrating AID searching.

Yes, this makes sense. IN fact why doesn't BAI simply generate this
index directly every night upon running? BAI has exactly what is needed
(mapping from AID to RecIDs for all AIDs) to populate such an index
directly.
e.g. generate

This I'm not as sure about, and doesn't seem to get us out of the current
problem, but maybe I am not understanding.
