To provide some background on why the above is true (also, for
clarification, the 099 is indexed in the identifier|bibcn field by
default), the keyword|keyword index is defined as "everything but
origin information (publisher, publishing location) that exists in the
MODS3.2 transformation of the MARCXML".  That's embodied in the
following XPath:

  //mods32:mods/*[not(local-name()='originInfo')]

The canonical definition of that is documented here:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-mapping-3-2.html

Of course, that is just the default out-of-the-box indexing definition
for general keywords.  That is entirely site-configurable, and you can
add additional keyword index definitions, or replace the stock one
with your own.  And, note that they don't have to depend on MODS
transformations, they can work with the MARC directly.

Hope that helps,
