>> Issue #5 No entries found when doing "Bib Call Number" searches
Speaking of bib call numbers, I wish they weren't included in the keyword index. These can add clutter to search results -- LC subdivisions like SF and TX get in with Science Fiction and Texas searches, and strings of numbers from both Dewey and LC can also match on numbers and dates that are part of the search.
I think this is especially confusing because the bib level call numbers are not displayed in the full record (at least not in systems I am familiar with) so the user has no way of understand why a certain record was found when it doesn't appear to have one of the search terms. (Unless of course they are motivated enough to go searching through the MARC, which they aren't.)
