Improve Author/Creator search results
We want more control over Author/Creator search results. Ex Libris has informed us that the author/creator searching norm rules are hard coded and cannot be changed. Currently our results include MARC fields 245 (statement of responsibility) and 600, 610, 611 (names as subjects). We don't want these fields included and would like to be able to sculpt search results through MARC field editing. Inclusion of these fields confuses users in author searches and returns results that are irrelevant when searching for works of a known author.

Hello, we wanted to add a small clarification. Our current search results using the "Author/Creator" refinement option are bringing back results with 600, 610, and 611 subject headings interfiled with the appropriate 1XX/7XX authorized headings. The 245 statement of responsibility is not being included in these search results. We would just like to remove the 6XX fields from an author/creator-specific search, since these headings should only be used in a general keyword or subject-specific search.
