Good afternoon, I'm looking for tips to solve an authority record problem.

I noticed that none of my "used for/see from" headings are hyperlinked when I 
browse authorities in Koha.  If I attempt a search for one of these unlinked 
terms, no results are found-the thesaurus isn't working.  Surely, something 
must be wrong with the MARC authority record, but I'm not sure what and I'm 
looking for suggestions!

I load authorities, but don't maintain them.  I'm not sure what the problem 
could be, after comparing to the MARC standard for authorities and a couple 
examples in OCLC.  These records functioned fine in Millennium.  Does Koha 
expect/require additional metadata to make these metadata searchable?  Perhaps 
it is a Global System Preference that is incorrect?

Here is an example of a record I just loaded from OCLC, below.  My expectation 
is that if I search my OPAC subject index for a phrase that is in one of the 
450's below, I should retrieve any bib records with a 650 field that contains 
"Brined cheeses", but no results are found.  Maybe I am completely 
misunderstanding how authority records work?
