In my opinion, one of the problems of creating an "opac-any" index in zebra is that many of the fields and subfileds in MARC are not meant to be shown to the public, and indexing them confuses things. If they don't appear in the opac, yet do appear in the search results, the patron is left wondering why. There is also the problem that Koha doesn't have a way of dealing with indicators, such as the "traced" or "untraced" in the 490, for example. For a record that has minimal cataloging it may not be a problem, but with a fully cataloged record, it would pull up a lot of false results. But that is just my 2 cents worth - admittedly not worth much, inflation considered.
