The upgrade to Rails 7.2 was smooth except for facets and the advanced helper.
Facets were fixed and improved by removing much of our custom display and relying on Blacklight functionality. The facets are stacked verically, which greatly improves their usefulness. Also, they have not worked well for quite some time, and with this update the functionality is much improved. The main issue with facets in Rails 7 is that our customization to the Range Limit facet did not display correctly at all. With the changes, it is reverted back to full functionality.
I removed the advanced search, at least temporarily. If we want it back, we should try adding it back from scratch. There were so so many overrides.
