As you say, we've already opened the door pretty wide as it is, and we specifically allow for extensions that don't obscure the core ZeeRex elements. On the other hand, I think that the zeerex context set is not the place for those fields to be searchable from. Is there a problem with creating a new context set for them? For country: dc.publisher? Or bib.originPlace ? (I'm less convinced about this, I admit) publisherType, I can't find any existing index that's even close. Rob
