index 245 subfield c
Please index 245 subfield c for Vega searching. This would allow for broader author retrieval, especially when the name on the work doesn't match the controlled heading. For instance, "Tomb of Sand" cannot be retrieved by searching the author, Geetanjali Shree, as shown of the cover (and in 245 subfield c) because the controlled heading (100 field) is Gītāñjali, Śrī.

This would also help to disambiguate between different editions with different contributors, translators or audiobook readers

I think that would be "nice-to-have." However, AV material like movies can have a lot of information in the 245 $c like production companies and presenters that might have a negative impact on precise hits. For instance, Warner Bros. might show up in keyword searches for Kurt Warner, etc.
