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:
http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2008-April/000666.html

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
