I have tested this function because it would be useful also for my library.
But in fact it doesn't work.

I think it is an error into the help.
It is not clear what to enter, a MARC field/subfield or the name of a index ?
It is a feature in the 'adding a record' form or only to setup a link 
in the intranet view of a record.

I have setup this feature for UNIMARC subfield 200$f and I don't see any glass.
But in the intranet result, MARC format, I see a link "Search on <the 
value of subfield>".

So the question is:
This help hit in MARC tag structure administration

Is it correct ?
Is it a bug to fix or a feature to add ?
