When selecting an image, the Image record page has Back to Search when no search was initiated.

Expected (from 2.x Spotlight)

Page: https://exhibits.library.cornell.edu/bluest-eye/catalog/81-4550

Actual (from 3.x Spotlight)

Here is an example with the Start Over button.

I'm not sure what to do in this case. I would be tempted to remove the Start over and Back to search buttons entirely, but I guess it would be possible for someone to display items in the browse or search view, where it would make sense to have them.

I traced the display to Blacklight /app/components/blacklight/constraints_component.html.erb and setting of the @start_over_component in constraints_component.rb. I have not found a configuration to control this. I asked about this in Slack.

Components, at least for this, aren't being used. The buttons are being rendered in Blacklight at app/views/catalog/show.html.erb based on the fact that there is a search session. The pagination doesn't show based on an override happening in Spotlight. I'm looking to see if a similar override can happen for the buttons.
