Excellent point, Ambrose! And it seems like it shouldn't really be that hard, since that subfield indicator is stored in the marc_subfield_table as the second character in the tag_indicator column. Once you have a list of biblionumbers returned by Search.pm, you could check them against that column to see if any leading characters in the title need to be skipped.
Yes, but it has the default of being MARC=ON specific, and requires a cataloguer that speaks MARC really good. I think i'll try to find a solution that calculates the "title for order" automatically, unless the indicator has been typed by the librarian, in which case Koha will use it.
I don't think very many catalogers do original cataloging, when you can get MARC records from vendors, from Z39.50, from OCLC, etc. And those that do their own cataloging are good enough to handle the subfield indicators with no problem. At least that's the case in the US. What you're proposing to do is solve a problem that MARC(21) has already solved.
