[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RE: Evergreen Index Parameters

[Dan Scott]

Hi Stuart:

The really short answer is that it's in the config.metabib_field table
in the database.

A slightly longer answer (including how one could modify this
themselves) was posted by Mike back on April 4th:

So, on my default trunk system, the heavy lifting of mapping MARC
fields to human-relevant indexes is done by MODS
(http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/):

evergreen=# select * from config.metabib_field;
 id | field_class |    name     |
         xpath                                               | weight
| format | search_field | facet_field
