It's Other-control-number:

    -match Other-control-number,035a

Or at least I can search using that field name to find things by OCLC 
number.  On the other hand, that appears to index 035 $z as well as 035 
$a -- that could be a problem, since $z contains cancelled or invalid 
numbers.

Here's how I found it:

# fgrep 035 /etc/koha/zebradb/*/*/biblios/record.abs
/etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs:melm 035$a      Other-control-number
/etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs:melm 035$z      Other-control-number
/etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs:melm 035        Other-control-number
/etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/normarc/biblios/record.abs:#melm 035       Local-number,Identifier-standard

Paul.
