[Archon-L] User Defined Fields

[Jason Fowler]

Thanks, Chris. One of my workers asked. I thought it probably was by design. I am indifferent about it. It's one of those things we can work around.

Jason,

Yes, they are specifically excluded by design--It was a decision 
I made, so you can blame or thank me for it.  My rationale was 
partially to keep the search response times robust and partially 
since most of the fields would not typically include an access 
point that would not appear somewhere else in the descriptive 
record, e.g. at a higher level or in the title or scopecontent.

The search does hit against title and scopecontent fields 
throughout Archon, so any keywords that need to be access points 
should be put in those fields.

Thanks,

Chris
