Customize Alma search indexes
We would like to customize the search indexes in Alma for all MARC21 fields (not just localized fields). For instance, in the Alma advanced search > all titles > "Title" > we would like to change to "245 (Title)" to make it easier to identify the MARC21 field we want to search.
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting this idea.
As of February 2026 release, Alma supports defining custom indexes for each institution based on Bibliographic data. This new infrastructure provides the flexibility for each customer to create their own search indexes tailored to their Bibliographic data.
Refer to the Alma release notes for more information.
Best,
Alma Product
