Hi all,

Koha 16.05 on Ubuntu 14.04 (package install)

I'm looking at possibly modifying Zebra so it can perform targeted searches on 
MARC fields found in music-based resources. I've been studying the 16.05 manual 
(3. Koha Search Indexes) and related documentation to learn about how 
Zebra/Koha/MARC are related and work behind the scenes.

To start, two bib1 attributes that would be worthwhile for us to activate so we 
can search on them would be "Thematic-number" and "Music-key". I'd like for 
staff to be able to conduct a focused search on the MARC subfields to which 
these two Bib1 attributes are mapped (i.e., 130$n, 130$r; 240$n,240$r; 700$n, 
700$r, etc.)

Now, these attributes exist in /etc/koha/zebradb/ccl.properties; but, they are 
commented out.


1.       What would happen if I uncommented them, saved the file, restarted 
zebra and did a full re-index?

2.       What would I have to do in addition to the above in order to get Koha 
to recognize these attributes as being available for searching on?

Modifying Zebra makes me somewhat nervous, so, as always, I seek comfort in the 
sage advice of the Koha CW.

Many thanks all,
