Hello
As a librairian, I think the "any" index defined in record.abs often return too much results, and inappropriate.
It is partly caused by "any" index indexing all fields, including all notes fields (5XX in marc21, 3XX in unimarc), and of a lot of fields that could be usefull for staff but not for our public (internal item notes, statistic codes, date/place of publication etc).
I want to submit you an idea :
- creating a new index in zebra, matching only "usefull" fields and subfields (and it will be editable by all libraries...). For example we could call it "opac-any"
- modifying the templates so that this index may be used instead of "any" when somebody makes a search in opac.

What do you think of that?
