Hi All, "You can also configure the system (see the discovery.cfg options) to ignore the metadatavalue and put in the index only the prefered form of a name as provided by the authority."
1. Where in "discovery.cfg" is this configured? A github link would help. 2. Who is the "authority" for authors? Excuse the pun!
