[Koha] indexing problem

Hi Erlanda,

653 is not included in the fields used for the topics index by default. 
With Zebra you cannot change this without editing the source code. With 
Elasticsearch you could use the configuration settings in the staff 
interface to make it work.

As 653 can be all types of subjects depending on indicator, I am not 
sure if it would make sens to include in topics by decault/for all 
libraries.

Hope that helps,

Katrin
