Hi Rubén!

In the manual, there is a kind of mapping section for searches that gives you the indexes for each marc field: https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/searching.html#koha-search-indexes

If you want to know what index is used for each search limit, you can make a search in Koha and look in the breadcrumbs for "Search for '...'". This will give you the index used for the search. For example, if I search with Danish in the language limit, it returns 'ln,rtrn:dan'. According to the manual, the 'ln' index is mapped to 008, position 35-37, and 041.

I hope this helps.

Maybe it could be more explicit in the manual. I will look into that!

Hello all,
I'm trying to plan the cataloguing requirements for our Esperanto library, and since we don't have to follow any other library's standards, we don't want to type more that strictly needed. My goal is cataloguing according to the information our own users will be able to retrieve from the Koha OPAC, no more, no less.

However, the mapping of MARC21 fields to Advanced Search Options seems to be undocumented.

For example, what field is used to search by language or publisher location? Why the "Content" option doesn't match character 33 of field 008? In the search field, what's the exact meaning of "Subject and broader terms", "Subject and narrower terms", "Subject and related terms", and "Curriculum"? Where are you supposed to input that when cataloguing?

Sorry if my questions are naive, I'm just an amateur sysad and amateur librarian working in my spare time for a nonprofit.
