[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Create new record matching rule - 035a

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi James,

Tasha is right that the field needs to be indexed. This might depend on
if you are using Zebra or Elasticsearch. And it's necessary that you use
the right index name when configuring the matching rule. The manual
lists the index for 035 as Other-control-number:

https://koha-community.org/manual/21.05/en/html/searching.html?highlight=index#koha-search-indexes

You can test by searching something like Other-control-number:<value
existing in your records> without the <> from a keyword search or
catalog search field.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
