[Evergreen-catalogers] MODS indexing and 700 |t

[Elizabeth B. Thomsen]

Galen asks:

> [1] Would it be a good idea to make this part of the default index definitions?  I lean towards yes, but if so, I think it should go hand-in-hand making sure that 7xx with $t are included in the default bib details display in the OPAC.

Yes.

> [2] Should it be possible to give names coming from relatedItems a different weight for the purposes of relevance ranking?  If the answer is yes, that implies that those names would go into separate name indexes rather than being added to the existing ones.

I am less sure about this one, but I would say yes on the grounds that 
although an author is an author, entries from analytics perhaps should 
have less weight because a book entirely by Charles Dickens is more 
relevant than an anthology in which he wrote one story out of many.
