[Koha] Indexing 100$q, 600$q, 700$q

[Charles Kelley]

Hi, all!

    Over half of the authors in my library's collection have names in
non-Roman writing systems, e.g., CJK and Cyrillic. We are entering the
names in the bibliographic records in the current RDA pairing of 1XX-880,
e.g.,

100 1_ $6 880-01 $a Tanaka, Nobuo
880 1_ $6 100-01 $a 田中信男

    This works well in searching. However, when there is a subfield q,
searching by the version in subfield q fails. For example, if we search for
a work by this author,

100 1_ $6 880-01 $a Tanaka, Nobuo
880 1_ $6 100-01/[dollar]1 $a 田中信男 $q (たなのぶお)

searching by Tanaka, Nobuo and 田中信男 finds works by him, but searching by
たなのぶお finds nothing. I suppose we can put the hiragana in parentheses in
880$a, e.g.,

100 1_ $6 880-01 $a Tanaka, Nobuo
880 1_ $6 100-01/[dollar]1 $a 田中信男 (たなのぶお)

but I'm trying to avoid straying too much from the current cataloging
standards. If we have to stray, we will and call it the local standard.

    Moreover, I don't want to enter too many 700 author name variants for
searching's sake because then it looks like there are three or more authors
instead of just one or two. Example:

100 1_ $6 880-01 $a Tanaka, Nobuo
880 1_ $6 100-01/[dollar]1 $a 田中信男 $q (たなのぶお)
700 1_ $6 880-02/[dollar]1 $a 田中信男 $q (たなのぶお)
880 1_ $6 700-02/[dollar]1 $a たなのぶお

    This is a long winded way to ask whether it's possible to index $q in
the 100, 600, and 700 fields?

    System
        Koha 20.05
        Debian 9 "Stretch"
        ElasticSearch is installed.

    Thanks for your help, everyone!
