I like the idea, though I would prefer to use the bib-1 attribute intended for that (there is one, though I forget which and can't check just now). Logistically speaking, however, this is quite difficult. Record.abs and its DOM equivalents are files on a file system, and cannot be edited from the staff client. This is not an insoluble problem, but making this possible in a way that could be integrated with solr without forcing us to go back to primitive GRS-1-style indexes would take some doing.


When I wrote "editable by all libraries..", I meant editable-in-the-hard-way (record.abs etc). It would be better than nothing...

As an initial step, you might consider submitting a patch that adds the hardcoded index and allows librarians to choose which keyword index to use on the OPAC and staff client. This shouldn't be too hard.


I will try to do that next week.
I add that as many libraries we are looking forward for SolR, so I won't spend weeks of work for reconfiguring Zebra based search, but even little improvements will be helpful for our users ;-)


Regards,
Jared
