The "9"s are available in all indicator positions for local use as
defined in the MARC record (not MARC21) spec. [1] So what is in the
MARC21 spec under a particular tag is the "non-local" values. I suspect
that most systems just ignore any '9's they encounter unless those are
defined as part of local system processing.

According to the MARC spec, 035 doesn't support '9' as a valid indicator. My
very uneducated guess would be the invalid indicator is causing the underlying
system not to index it?

Let's say I've defined these indexes in pqf.properties on the SRU server:
index.marc.020 = 1=7 # ISBN
index.marc.035:1 = 1=1211 # OCLC/utility number where first indicator is
non-blank
index.marc.100:1 = 1=1 # author where first indicator is non-blank
I can use the ISBN index to search for records, e.g.:
http://apps.appl.cuny.edu:5661/CENTRAL?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=marc.020="9780801449437"&startRecord=1&maximumRecords=15
I can also use the author index to search for records, e.g.:
http://apps.appl.cuny.edu:5661/CENTRAL?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=marc.100:1="Armenteros"&startRecord=1&maximumRecords=15
So why can't I search for records by utility number (035) with a non-blank
first indicator?
http://apps.appl.cuny.edu:5661/CENTRAL?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&query=marc.035:1="ebr10488669"&startRecord=1&maximumRecords=15
If you're playing along, you'll notice that these all point to the same record. However, when I try
to search for it with &query=marc.035:1="<util_num>", I get no results. I
thought maybe this was because there's already another 035 field (with blank indicators) that's an
OCLC number so I temporarily removed it... but that didn't solve the issue.
Anyone have any experience with this? I need to be able to search by 0359# and
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I would greatly appreciate some
assistance!
Thank you,
Allie
