[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How to exclude the field 041 value from search by language

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

Hi Eva,

You will need to do a reingest of records to see the changes in your search
-- in general the reingest can be targeted to just the records that were
affected by the change (but in your case, I imagine a lot of records
contain an 041).

Hope this helps,
Andrea
