Local fields are indexed and searchable in Primo. Display and indexing of the fields in Primo is controlled at the installation level by the CSU as part of our standard configuration (i.e., Normalization Rules of the PNX record). Phrase versus keyword functionality is controlled in Primo by the user's search mode.  When using basic search, clicking on a hyperlink executes a keyword search.  When using advanced search, clicking on the hyperlink executes a phrase search.
