I think that's what she meant.

Yes, but not to our librarians colleagues who want to describe titles in a
myriad of MARC' subfield while uniting them all under one index entry. I'm not
sure to be able to convince them this may not be a good idea :). The 4XX$t as a
title index  for instance, is a relevancy killer. I'll try to convince them to
bind it to a linked-with-title index.

Anyway, having a different relevancy for same index/different subfield may be
another bug.
