[Koha] Excluding fields from the OPAC search

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

unfortunately the problem is a bit more complicated. :(

I think since our switch from grs-1 to dom indexing, the kw index
includes the whole record, where before that switch it was 'everything
that is indexed'. So changing the configuration of individual
fields/indexes won't make a difference. See:

*Bug 15050*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15050> -
Nonpublic note searchable from OPAC

I am not sure if this is solved already with Elasticsearch.

Some things you could do to avoid issues is linking 952$e to a vendor
record using the id. I've been thinking it would be nice if we had a
value builder to do this for a while. If you add items from acquisition
it will also fill source of acquisition with the id, so that would make
things more consistent.

For internal notes I think a good rule of thumb would be to avoid using
personal names whenever possible. For some use cases internally agreed
on codes or the cardnumber might work. Having a separate feature for
adding notes that don't end up in the MARC records (and possible
exports, OAI etc.) might be a good idea anyway.

Hope this helps
