Hello everyone and apologies if this has been discussed (or even tackled).

The issue I'm having is that authority-related indexes (ie authority author) are getting too large because some of the 'authority' fields that should be indexed coincide with some popular bibliographic fields (such as 500__a which is see also/personal name in authority records and note field in bibliographic records) and thus the relative index fills up with 'garbage'.

With that in mind, I think it would be nice to be able to restrict indexing to certain collections only. If this seems like a bad policy (and maybe it is), a check button could instead exist in the bibindexadmin page that could be used to indicate an authority-related index (and thus restrict the data gathered to authority-related records only).

Does this seem reasonable?

Cheers,
Theodoros
