Creating a Keyword Search Index
This section explains how to create a new keyword search index for your Horizon system. A keyword search index links each word in a MARC tag to the bib number of the record that the word is in. This lets users find any MARC record that contains any word or set of words anywhere in a string of characters.
As you do steps in this section, you use information or codes (such as table names and MARC map codes) that you create in one task for subsequent tasks. Because of this, you may want to write down codes as you create them. You do some of the tasks in this section in your SQL query tool. Other tasks you do in the Horizon Table Editor. In addition, this section provides several SQL queries that you can run to display a “template” or sample of the command you need to run to create new database objects.
Some tasks in this section focus on scenarios for setting up specific types of keyword search indexes. (For example, one task focuses on one specific index scenario, such as a title keyword search. Another task may focus on a different scenario, such as a subject keyword list.) These scenarios are only examples of a type of keyword index you may want to create.
You should create a keyword search index from scratch only if you are completely comfortable creating and running SQL scripts to create data structures. If you are unsure about any of the steps in this section, Customer Support can create the index for you for an add-on service fee. To have a new index created for you, contact your Customer Sales Representative for a price quote.
You create the new index by completing these tasks in this order:
