add 505$t should be included in title search
The 505$t subfield should be included in the title search.
Here is an example of a situation where that is valuable. If a library user is searching for Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" and uses the Title search, they will only find the actual work "Cat's Cradle". However, this book is also contained in short story compilations. They will miss this short story compilation which may better suit their reading needs.

We want our patrons to be able to find items easily any way they would search for them. Having the 505 |t fields indexed ONLY for keyword/all searches makes it harder for those patrons who search for items by Title. Especially if they are searching for the exact title of a song on a music CD or the exact title of a short story in a collection. We are trying to make things easier for them, not harder. We shouldn't have to teach patrons how to search for items. It should be easy and intuitive for them to be able to find it on their own.

Many of our libraries own pre-loaded devices like Kindle's etc. the 505 field contains the titles on the devices. Having the 505 field available as a title search is extremely important for both patrons and staff.
